The scorecard of debate competition

After we are talking about debates (see http://diniuslc.blogspot.co.id/2016/02/lets-talk-about-debates.html), here is the scorecard that an adjudicator could use:

Criteria	Affirmative	Negative
Speaker number	1        2        3	1        2        3
Matter (a mark out of 40 for each speaker) Was the explanation clear (and definition also if speaker 1)? Was topic properly understood and were issues explained? Were good arguments given? Was the argument supported with evidence, personal experience and quotations? Was argument clear and did it follow team line? Was there good argument against opponents?
Manner (a mark out of 40 for each speaker) Was the speaker able to be heard by all in the audience? Was there good pronunciation of words? Were words spoken not too fast or slow? Were volume and pace varied? Did the speaker appear believable? Did the speaker stand confidently? Was there eye contact with the audience? Were facial expressions and gestures used to give emphasis? If notes were used, did these get in the way?
Method (a mark out of 20 for each speaker) Was the speech in the logical order? Did the speech have an effective opening and closing? Was the speech relevant? Did the speaker go over time? Did the speaker carry out duties of 1, 2 or 3? Did the speaker contribute to team line and strengthen it?
