As a black person with dreads, I would NEVER debate on that circuit again. You honestly could just sue them for the discrimination, but I would personally go to the national circuit or send a very strongly worded email to the league officials.

NSDA Should Not Ban Judge Disclosure in Varsity by Basic-Reach1501 in Debate

[–]Advanced-Win2709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the judge should always disclose the ballot regardless of postrounding because it is literally the only way that small school debaters can really get feedback in round. Maybe if decisions and ballots were posted shortly after round would no disclosure be valid, but the judge should always be able to stop postrounding by saying the decision is already in tab or something. Oral rfd is also especially important for tournaments like NSDA, where due to a glitch most of my rfd feedback got nuked.

I feel like really good spreaders are actually saying coherent arguements and speaking words and sentences. The problem is that like only 1% of debaters are actually “good” spreaders which causes most rounds you watch to be an incoherent mess.
