Two of the judges aren't here (Nitro and HG). I believe Nitro is on vacation, but I'm not sure about HG.2. Seeing as I'm the only judge here right now, would you just want me to go ahead and judge each contest and have the final and only say in the matter?3. Who is running this contest so we can get them to update the bracket and get the next five debates up-and-running?</div>i can help with the judging, i'll judge the debates i'm not in. i'll also try to kickstart the next fie when we're done.

    I have a suggestion for future topics. We should probably not give topics that a poster would be biased about. For example, giving the Marion vs. Brand debate to STS was a little bit of a bad idea to me. Obviously there will always be some bias, but I mean, don't give me a Spurs vs. Mavs debate. You know which side I'll probably argue.

    I was surprised that The Okie won, he was definitely an underdog...clangus as well.

    And all of the debate topics look good in the next round, except for the best winning component one

    You guys are so biased. He is moderator but he made terrible points and didn't even know who won the championship in 2003-2004. This was based on who was the moderator and not to brag but I easily defeated him in this one...but of course I'm not moderator so I can't win.

    that was just a slip-up. i made no good points? obviously not. and for the record, me and melo have been known to be at eachother's throats, and he voted for me. Trust me, it had nothing to do with me being a moderator. i won fair and square, and if you can't accept that, then so be it.i love all the new topics in the new debates. they will surely raise some arguments. props to whoever made the topic about who has had the best career so far.

So in a sense i was relying on you guys to shape my opinion on the subject. Now i found myself swaying back and forwards in the beginning, but after a while i found that i believed that the knicks would be better now that isiah is on the bench.I think it was an awesome debate and i am sure glad i didn't have to debate against either of you in the first round. (this is my first ever debate)I think the judges made the right decision. You were really good rashard but you lost, be gracious in defeat.

    Id also like to say that i think its stupid when people say they agree on a subject and cant debate on it. Part of being a good debator is being able to argue a point whether u truly believe in it or not. I really dont think McGrady is that much of an overrated player, but i thought it would be easier to debate and win if disagreed with pistonsfan

The three judges are excellent and knowledgeable posters at BBW. Of course you can disagree, but don't cause problems here.

    Hey, hold up. I don't paticularly like dogma and he'll probably feels the same. So no, there's no bias invlovled. His points to me seemed much more logicial [and i realise i've used that a million times] and this is why i gave him my vote. I think i gave a detailed reponse onto why i picked dogma, go back and read it.I think a coach should do his best to make the best of a situation and brown didn't. Isiah seems much less driven by ego as i haven't heard stories about him. With the players the knicks have, they'll be better off with isiah.

    I have already beat GArenas. The only bias involved in this decision is the fact that I am so awesome that his head will explode if he tries to debate me.
