A Footnote to William Southworth's Critique of the Final Round of the 1984 National Debate Tournament.
Boaz, John K.
Journal of the American Forensic Association, v21 n2 p119-22 Fall 1984
The editor of the NDT transcripts since 1978 confirms statistically Professor Southworth's observations about the trend of debaters toward rapid speaking rates and garbled, incomprehensive reading of large quantities of evidence; also agrees that decisions ought to be rendered promptly after the debate.
