The next several links are to a judge training guide put out by the National Speech and Debate Association and to sample ballots, both blank and filled in. No one uses paper ballots any more, even at In-Person tournaments, but what actually appears on a ballot is still useful. Information on electronic ballots is below.

We all got lucky...I figured out how to put YouTube Videos on my Website. There is one featuring an LD Round at NSDA Nationals and one featuring a PF Round at the Harvard Round Robin. The kids in these videos are VERY GOOD at what they do. Many of the people you will see will be no where near this level. Below each debate are sample ballots for that debate written by LHS LDers and PFers.

My friend Jim Menick is a writer and editor. We run a lot of tournaments together. The following are documents designed to explain electronic ballots, Public Forum and Tournament Obligations. While the third of these is less relevant for one day events like Little Lex, it does explain how judging works at bigger tournaments (like Big Lex).
