Re: ready for judging! I'm still waiting on MichaelBryant, but I guess no sense in waiting any longer.... So I will just discount my vote and use what the other voters said:And the winner of the 2006 BBW Debate Contest is....<u>nba dogmatist!!!!!</u>Final tally: nba dogmatist- 5, CB4AllStar-0Here is what your peers said:----------------------------------------------BigMo763: My vote goes to dogma...Eliiite: Great debate you guys, you both brought out good points and I enjoyed reading your responses. CB4AllStar - Your opening statement was VERY good. It really convinced me that the Raps had a very good team going. But I think what gave you the advantages is because you were first to respond to Dogma's comments. But regardless, I really liked your opening statement. In the beginning of the debate you came in strong, but I think you were on the defensive of the debate about midway to the end of the debate. Less fingers were pointed at dogma while you spent most of your posts defending the Raptor's worth. It also seemed like you were overrating your players a bit. Maybe it was Dogma's way of questioning but whatever he did worked. And it kind of hurt you when you said 'I can't understand this paragraph'. It made complete sense to me and it gave me a feeling that you couldnt defend what he accused.NBA Dogmatist - It actually seemed like it was over for you when I read CB4's opening, but you really turned it around for me. You did a very good job at making your points and make him defend his team while yours was not being accused or compared as much. You did a good job on the Raps' pg situation, CB4's lineup comparisons; I mean you made him change it! I didnt like though how you made your posts as if you were shouting at him but nonetheless you made your points stroungly. You played on the offensive and it worked wonders. CB4 had to spend his posts on defending his team and not much about the Celtics.Winner - .:NBA Dogmatist:.Good debate guysASUFan22: I skimmed it. Both of them made some good points but I just saw Dogma make more. And CB4's arguments made little sense and all his posts consisted of, "your so ignorant" "mr.iknowallaboutgarbajosa haha you dunno what you talking bout" and he's talking about the preseason proving nothing about Rondo and he's talking about how good the Raptors players are going to be because he saw them do well in the preseason. I just thought Dogma's arguments were stronger and put out in a more mature manner.though he probably should have mentioned the Bosh has that plantar facsitis problem which hurt Duncan last year. Pistonfan11: I the that the winner of the debate is Dogma.I think that he made more valid points then CB4 did. His comparisons between Raptor playters and Celtic players was better IMO. He also made better points against the Raptors.P.S. CB4 shouldn't have said he didn't want to debate IMO, that didn't weigh into my decision, but he still shouldn't have said anything. RaptorFan#1: um I choose nba domatistI felt that dogma did a way better of attacking CB4, and Cb4 had trouble defending PLUS attakcing at the same time, he defended well, and so did dogma, but he did more than that.but I did like the way CB4 appraoched it, highlighted points at almost every aspect of the team game, though it was hard, and I could tell he wasnt impressed with the topic. major props CB4, dont count him out, I think he is probably one of BBw's elite membersDogma I did think at times you were strolling off topic just writing random things, but you did an overral good job---------------------------Great job to both dogma and CB4AllStar!
Re: ready for judging! alright, cool. Congrats dogma. Hopefully we have another debating contest soon.
Re: ready for judging! In the next debate contest, will I be allowed to be in it, even though I was in the last one? If not, I understand, and I think it's only fair if other people weren't in it last time and want to be in it now, then let them. But if possible, I would like to be in the next one as well.

However, this time we should better organize it.
