Practice Notes

00 min., 15 sec.

Videotape begins

00 min., 45 sec.

John Wilcox, moderator, welcomes observers, introduces self; asks members of each team and panel of judges to introduce themselves. To determine which team goes first, moderator asks one team to flip a coin and the other to call their “side”.  Team that wins the call chooses whether to be first or second to present. Moderator then announces the case to be discussed by its “case number”, distributes copies of the case to each team (1 copy per team) and to judges.

At this point in a match, you would take a set of 2 judge’s score sheets out of your folder, write your name legibly on the designated line and the name of the two competing teams. You may want to write the names of the teams also on the BACK of each score sheet,  next to “TOTAL SCORE FOR TEAM.” Make sure score sheet for the team which presents first (Team 1) is on top and ready to use!

  4 min., 43 sec.

Moderator announces the question(s) the presenting team should address, sets timer for one minute for team to confer.

If you plan to practice scoring a presentation, begin  watching here!

  5 min., 59 sec.

Naval Academy presentation begins

15 min., 33 sec.

Naval Academy presentation ends. Moderator thanks Team 1 and gives Indiana (opposing team) 60 seconds to prepare to comment on Team 1’s presentation. (We actually don’t hear this on the tape.)

Using the 4 categories for evaluatingTeam 1’s initial presentation, and applying the point allocation definitions within each category, note your scores (1-10) for each category in the boxes to the left. When you’ve completed assigning points, turn the Judge’s Score Sheet to the BACK.

Note: you may want to stop the tape at this point while you are “learning” to apply the point allocation definitions within each category.

16 min., 07 sec.

Indiana begins their comment. You’ll see that Team 1 and Team 2 have different approaches to using team members as speakers. Both are valid.

20 min., 46 sec.

Indiana completes their comment.  Moderator thanks Team 2 for its comment. Then Moderator gives presenting team (Team 1) one minute to prepare to respond to comment.

Evaluate Indiana’s commentary based on the evaluation question and point allocation definitions.  As you are doing so, keep in mind the 4 presentation criteria.

Note: again you may want to stop the tape at this point while you are “learning” to apply the point allocation definitions.

22 min., 06 sec.

Presenting team begins response.

26 min., 43 sec.

Presenting team completes response.

Moderator announces that each judge may ask 1 question with a brief follow up and notes that the entire period for judges’ questions is to be no more than 10 minutes. Moderator gives judges a few seconds to confer and to develop their questions.

27 min., 06 sec.

First judge’s question, Navy’s response.

30 min., 18 sec.

Second judge’s question, Navy’s response. Note

that judge asks a brief follow-up question.

34 min., 04 sec.

Third judge’s question,  Navy’s response.

36 min., 36 sec.

Following team’s response, moderator notes that “this has concluded the questioning period” and asks judges to score the US Naval Academy on their presentation and Indiana on their “response.” 

If  the 2004 scoring rules had been used, the moderator would have stated something to this effect:

“Judges, please complete your scoring for Navy’s response to commentary and to judges’ questions. When you have completed doing so, turn your score sheet over.

“On the score sheet FRONT, make sure you total the scores for each evaluation category. Then, on the BACK of the score sheet in the section, “TOTAL SCORE FOR TEAM”, enter the total from the FRONT and enter Navy’s Response to Commentary.

“Last, and very important, transfer your point evaluation from Part 2  for Indiana’s OPPOSING Team’s Commentary to the BACK of Indiana’s score sheet, in the section “ TOTAL SCORE FOR TEAM.” 

At this point, you will evaluate  Navy’s (the presenting team’s) response both to the opposing team’s commentary and to judges’ questions.  Again, you may want to STOP the tape at this point.

You also may want to “practice” following the moderator’s directions noted to the left relative to calculating Navy’s total score for its PRESENTATION (1-40 points) and transfering that score to the “Total Score for Team” section on the BACK of the Judge’s Score Sheet, entering Navy’s score for RESPONSE TO COMMENTARY, and transferring Indiana’s score for COMMENTARY to the “Total Score for Team” section on Indiana’s score sheet.

37 min., 51 sec.

The second round in the match now begins. Team 2 (Indiana) is now the presenting team. The moderator again announces the case number, distributes copies of the case to each team (1 copy per team) and to judges. Again, the moderator announces the question(s) Indiana should address and sets timer for one minute for team to confer.

During this second round, you’ll have the opportunity to evaluate a team with a somewhat different presentation style, hear more judges’ questions and gain additional familiarity using the scoring categories and point allocation definitions. And, you’ll generate a Total Score for each team.!

39 min., 52 sec.

Indiana begins its presentation

Make sure you have the Judge’s Score Sheet for Indiana as the presenting team and your name as judge on top.

47 min., 08 sec.

Indiana completes its presentation. Moderator thanks Team 2 and gives Team 1 (Navy, the opposing team in this round) one minute to prepare to comment on Team 2’s presentation.

Now using the 4 categories for evaluatingTeam 2’s initial presentation, and applying the point allocation definitions within each category, note your scores (1-10) for each category in the boxes to the left.  Since you now have some experience evaluating a presentation using

these categories, take a moment to total the 4 scores.  Then turn Judge’s Score Sheet over.

Again you may want to stop the tape at this point.

47 min., 15 sec.

Moderator thanks Indiana for its presentation and informs Navy they have one minute to prepare for their commentary on Indiana’s presentation.

48 min., 13 sec.

Navy’s (Team 1’s) commentary begins.

52 min., 53 sec.

Navy concludes their commentary.  Missing from the audio track of the videotape is the Moderator thanking Navy for its comment and telling Indiana they have one minute to prepare for their response.

Evaluate Navy’s (Team 1’s) commentary based on the evaluation question and point allocation definitions. As you are doing so, keep in mind the 4 presentation criteria.

Again you may want to stop the tape at this point.

52 min., 58 sec.

Indiana begins its response.

57 min., 41 sec.

Indiana completes its response. Moderator thanks Indiana for their response to Navy’s commentary and gives the judges a few moments to confer and to develop their questions.

58 min., 14 sec.

Moderator announces “the judges will now proceed with their questions” and notes “the entire period for judges questions lasts 10 minutes.”

58 min., 33 sec.

First judge’s question, Indiana’s response.

1 hr., 02 min., 03 sec.

Second judge’s question,  Indiana’s response. Judge asks a brief follow-up question.

1 hr., 05 min., 23 sec.

Third judge’s question, Indiana’s response. Judge asks a brief clarifying question.

1 hr., 08 min., 18 sec.

Moderator asks the judges now to “score” Indiana.

If  the 2004 scoring rules had been used, the moderator would have stated something to this effect:

“Judges, please complete your scoring for Indiana’s  response to commentary and to judges’ questions. When you have completed doing so, turn your score sheet over.

“On the score sheet FRONT, make sure you total the scores for each evaluation category. Then, on the BACK of the score sheet in the section, “TOTAL SCORE FOR TEAM”, enter the total from the FRONT and enter Indiana’s  Response to Commentary.

“Last, and very important, transfer your point evaluation from Part 2  for Navy's  OPPOSING Team’s Commentary to the BACK of Navy’s  score sheet, in the section “TOTAL SCORE FOR TEAM.” 

Moderator would  give judges a few moments to enter and transfer scores. Moderator would then ask judges to sum THE TOTAL SCORE FOR EACH TEAM based on the components of that score they have already calculated. (There will be a calculator for each panel of judges!)

At this point, you will evaluate Indiana’s  response to Navy’s commentary and to the judges’ questions based on the evaluation question and point allocation criteria while keeping in mind the 4 presentation categories.

“Practice” following the moderator’s directions (noted to the left) relative to calculating Indiana’s total score for its PRESENTATION (1-40 points) and transfering that score to the “ Total Score for Team” section on the BACK of the Judge’s Score Sheet, entering Indiana’s score for RESPONSE TO COMMENTARY, and transferring Navy’s score for COMMENTARY to the “Total Score for Team” section on Navy’s score sheet. 

Finally, SUM the three scores for each team; that is, “Total from Front” + “ Response to Commentary” + “Commentary on other team (from other Score Sheet)” for a TOTAL SCORE. You will do this twice, once for each team.

Hint: keep both score sheet BACKS in front of you. Place team name right next to TOTAL SCORE FOR TEAM if you haven’t done so already.  Get your set of number cards ready!

1 hr., 08 min.,

 33 sec.

Moderator asks judges to display their scores for each component of the match. (You will see judges holding up large red cards with numbers.)  Moderator totals the scores and announces winner.

In 2004 Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl, judges will display their scores for a match component all at the same time in this order:

(1) Presentation on case  (TOTAL FROM FRONT): Team 1 (in this match, Navy)

(2) Presentation on case  (TOTAL FROM FRONT): Team 2(in this match, Indiana)

(3) Response to commentary: Team 1

(4) Response to commentary: Team 2

(5) Commentary on other team: Team 1

(6) Commentary on other team: Team 2

Moderator will write each judge’s scores on a large sheet of flip chart paper, visible to each team and to spectators. Moderator will then total each judge’ scores and check to ensure judges calculation of  TOTAL SCORE and the Moderator’s match.

The match ends after the Moderator sums the TOTAL SCORE for all 3 judges ( for a maximum number of 180 points for any one team) and declares as the winner of the match the team with the greatest number of points. 

1 hr., 11 min.

Match ends.
