How Judging Works

Every argument is scored out of 100 by AI across four criteria worth 25 points each, to three decimal places.

Argument Logic

25pts

Does your case hold together? Clear claims, sound reasoning, no contradictions.

Specific Evidence

25pts

Stats, matches, moments, dates. Concrete beats vague every single time.

Originality

25pts

An angle nobody else is taking. Recycled takes score low.

Writing Clarity

25pts

Tight, readable prose. Structure, rhythm and grammar all count.
