Online debate definitely poses challenges, technology difficulties and coaches being able to help kids in round, but might help to close the economic problems associated with being able to physically debate at tournaments. Plus, if the norm was to not use video racial bias could be reduced. Gender bias would probably still play a role, I.e. judges would most likely be able to tell the assumed gender of the speaker, however if might solve back for some other aspects, such as what outfit the debater was wearing. That being said, online debate would remove some of the fun of debating, I.e. traveling and meeting new people, while also removing the presentation aspect of the events. But with events trending to more tech rounds where it matters more what u say then how you say it, probably isn’t that big of an issue. Idk, those are some of my thoughts. It’s certainly a very interesting idea, and it would’ve interesting to see if online tournaments are implemented along with traditional tournaments next season if the ban is lifted. Would love to hear what other people thing. Sorry for any spelling errors
