Junior WSD规则解读 | 晋级与评分规则

晋级与评价

赛前，联赛通常会根据“50%原则”决定本轮比赛晋级组数。例如，有32支队伍参赛，则晋级16强。每场比赛的晋级队伍数量会视参赛队伍总数而定，常见的有32强、16强和8强。

在Junior WSD比赛过程中，裁判总是会在比赛结束5分钟之后当场宣布结果；裁判会用约10分钟宣布获胜的队伍与理由。在循环赛Round 4之后，组委会将根据团队和辩手得分综合计算出晋级队伍名单。

核心评价要素

NHSDLC Junior WSD比赛中评价的核心要素是选手们的辩论能力，而不论其他特征。在比赛中，我们评判辩论能力的核心要素主要有三个：

1.内容 Content

内容指辩手论证的力度，这也包括了反驳的质量和击败对方论点的能力。该项目上分数越高，意味着辩手所提出的论点拥有越高的相关性，条理清晰，并且简洁而富有逻辑地指明了其论点的影响力。

Content is the strength of the argumentation presented. This also covers the quality of the rebuttal and ability to defeat opposing arguments. It marks the extent to which the strength of the arguments compels judges to support or oppose the motion. It is intended to be divorced from the style with which the argument is delivered. A speaker with a high content mark will present arguments that are highly relevant, with clear explanations and logic, and be succinct in flagging the impacts of their arguments. They will be consistent and thorough in their explanation of why their set of beliefs are the strongest arguments in the debate.

2.风格Style

风格指的是提供有说服力的论点的能力，其中包含了那些可以提高表达效果的一般要素：包括辩手的声音表达技巧、肢体语言和修辞技巧的运用以及选手与观众之间的连接等等。

Style is the ability to deliver arguments persuasively. There is no one particular style that will be appropriate for all speakers and all debates, just as there is no one set of arguments that will win all debates. However, it does encompass a number of general elements that improve the impact of a speech. These include how a speaker uses their voice, their use of gestures, their use of rhetorical techniques and their engagement with the audience. What is being considered is the extent to which these things are used to augment or hinder the persuasiveness of the speaker.

3.策略Strategy

在Junior WSD的比赛中，策略包括两个方面：

a）辩手对辩论结构和时长的掌控。辩手需要充实自己的陈述时间，过少或过多都将影响裁判评价。同时，辩手的陈述中需要体现出清晰的论证进展过程。

Structure and timing mean a speaker who fills their time and does not under or over speak. It also means having a clear progression of points within the speech which shows a clear sense of priorities in their argumentation.

b）是辩手对于辩论问题的理解。这里指的是辩手在辩论过程中能够清晰地意识到在什么时候、对于哪些问题必须进行论证和回应（即使辩手不擅长论证该内容），如回应时机正确，即使选手没有进行充分的论证，裁判也将给出较高策略分（但内容分较低）。

Understanding the issues of the debate follows on from this clear sense of understanding what the key issues in any given debate are. They will be able to understand which arguments and parts of an argument they must respond to in their speeches (even if their responses are not strong); they will understand what the important things to prove within their arguments are (even if this is not always successful). Thus, if a speaker is clearly attempting to do the correct things in terms of argumentation but not proving the things they set out, they may receive a high strategy mark and a lower content mark.

评分单

辩论结束后，评委将在ballot上注明哪支队伍赢得了本轮比赛，并为选手打分。前三篇演讲按 60-80 分制计分，答辩演讲按 30-40 分制计分。然后统计各队的总分。
