If there is a competition between the winners of each house, keep the P.O. awards in the prelim rounds. Or better yet, just don't do it.<BR/><B>-One parliamentarian who nominated two contestants to the ballot per round and one speaking judge who nominated two speakers per round.</B> With the new emphasis on procedure, the ability of the parliamentarian to nominate people is more important than before. Likewise, the new 8-point system for speakers makes for a more accurate spread.<BR/><B>-Let the students give at least one prize.</B> They're the only people who are in the room for the whole time. They know who's fronting and who isn't. Being accountable only to the judges makes for a boring round.Captain Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12873985132574157016noreply@blogger.com
