Legend Judging System (LJS)

The Legend System is a new and revolutionary judging design created by edeb8 user "Csareo". Legend follows the base equation....
(Arguments ---> Affirmed(solvency + PSP) - Arguments ----> Negatory(inherency + CSP)) - (CD - PD)
(AA(solvency + SP) - NA(I)) - D + SP
A - Arguments, 
AA - Affirmed Arguments, 
NA - Negatory Arguments,
 S - Solvency,
 I - Inherency,
 SP - Special Points
PSP - BOP Holder Special Points
CSP - Non BOP Holder Special Points
D - Deductions
CD - Non BOP Holder Deductions
PD - BOP Holder Deductions



- Cross Examination Participation (2)
- Good Conduct (2) 
- Presentation (2)
- Use of Strong Speech (2) 
For the example, assume both debaters received the full 8 points. PSP= 8, CSP = 8


  1. 1. Barely Affected BOP holder's case
  2. 2. Lightly Affected BOP holder's case
  3. 3. Moderately Affected BOP holder's case
  4. 4. Greatly Affected BOP holder's case
  5. 5. Strongly Affected BOP holder's case

  • The same ladder is applied for inherency, or how much negative impact an argument has. I= 18

  • After Solvency, Inherency, and Special Points have been determined, proceed to calculate deductions, which are the opposite of Special Points. 
- No CX Participation (2)
- Bad Conduct (2)
- Bad Presentation (2)
- Bad Speech (2)
Assume both debaters received a 2 point deduction. PD - 2, CD - 2

6(23 + 8) - 4(18 + 8)) - (2-2) = 82

4(18+8)-6(23+8) - (2-2) = -82

This is a really bad idea. "yes i justified giving Con the win because the equation said so".
