Legend Judging System (LJS)
The Legend System is a new and revolutionary judging design created by edeb8 user "Csareo". Legend follows the base equation....
(Arguments ---> Affirmed(solvency + PSP) - Arguments ----> Negatory(inherency + CSP)) - (CD - PD)
(AA(solvency + SP) - NA(I)) - D + SP
A - Arguments,
AA - Affirmed Arguments,
NA - Negatory Arguments,
S - Solvency,
I - Inherency,
SP - Special Points
PSP - BOP Holder Special Points
CSP - Non BOP Holder Special Points
D - Deductions
CD - Non BOP Holder Deductions
PD - BOP Holder Deductions
- When using the Legend Judging System, you must first count the total # of arguments made by both debaters. If there are 10 arguments, then that would be recorded into step one. A = 10.
- After recording how many arguments have been made, you must categorize them into two possible categories. Affirmed Arguments and Negative Arguments. Affirmed Arguments are those which have been proven to positively impact the argument of the BOP holder's case. Negative Arguments are those which have proven to negatively affect the BOP holder's case. AA = 6, NA = 4
- After categorization, Affirmed Arguments will then be multiplied by the solvency (Positive Impact), plus special points.
- Special Points will be points rewarded by the following categorizations
- Cross Examination Participation (2)
- Good Conduct (2)
- Presentation (2)
- Use of Strong Speech (2)
For the example, assume both debaters received the full 8 points. PSP= 8, CSP = 8
- Special Points for the BOP holder
- Solvency is how much the arguments positively impact the debater's case. If an argument is affirmed, it should be rated on a ladder of 1 to 5. S= 23
- 1. Barely Affected BOP holder's case
- 2. Lightly Affected BOP holder's case
- 3. Moderately Affected BOP holder's case
- 4. Greatly Affected BOP holder's case
- 5. Strongly Affected BOP holder's case
- The same ladder is applied for inherency, or how much negative impact an argument has. I= 18
- After Solvency, Inherency, and Special Points have been determined, proceed to calculate deductions, which are the opposite of Special Points.
- No CX Participation (2)
- Bad Conduct (2)
- Bad Presentation (2)
- Bad Speech (2)
Assume both debaters received a 2 point deduction. PD - 2, CD - 2
- Once all factors are determined, plug them into the equation.
6(23 + 8) - 4(18 + 8)) - (2-2) = 82
- If the final score is positive, then that means the BOP holder won. Alternatively, if the Score is negative in the following inverse example, the non-BOP holder wins the debate.
4(18+8)-6(23+8) - (2-2) = -82
