    This debate grading rubric assesses the affirmative and negative debate teams across four criteria on a scale of 1 to 4: organization and clarity, use of argument, use of cross-examination and rebuttal, and presentation style. For each criterion, the rater assigns a grade based on the team's performance level. The rater then calculates the average score for each debate team.
