What would be the grading system used?
Will being a poster longer, having more posts, having more rep power, or anything in this general area effect the judging?
I am still gaining respect in the WZ Forums and I don't want my debate(s) to be looked at differently.
Also, What was the final debate topic last time around?

There will be a formal rules and regulations thread created either tonight or tomorrow with details on this.
None of this matters at all. You are judged strictly and specifically on the debate replies, nothing more. That's why we have impartial judges... we want it to be fair.
Look it up in the archives.
Post count is turned on in the debates. If you're going to put that much work towards a post, we're definitely going to make it count.

Just asked this in the other thread but for the others benifits;
Is there a definite time for the start of tomorrow's debate? Also, how will it be going, 'cos I guess its not a For/Against debate?

The start time was all posted within the signup thread.
The debates will have multiple sides to choose from. Prior to the debate thread being created, I will flip a coin to choose the home and away debater. The home debater gets to choose either if they wish to submit the first post of the debate or which side of the debate they choose to argue. The away debater gets the latter of the two choices.

If a poster doesn't respond within the time limit then would that result in a infraction or an automatic loss?
It depends... if they don't respond at all within the time period, the opposing debater wins. If they don't respond to their opponent's replies in a timely fashion, it affects their Punctuality points.
Warning/infractions are only for breaking forum rules.
Every topic will be wrestling-related somehow.
I must have over looked that. Thank you.
How long do I have to wait for Gunnz to make his choice?
24 hours from when the debate was posted. At 4pm EST tomorrow, if Gunnz is a no-show, the choice of position will be deferred to you. You will also still be able to choose the order in which the participants will make their opening statements.

Damas y Caballeros...
Did we really think Gunnz was gonna be a no-show?
Just to be clear on this stuff... If option 1 is chosen, options 2 and 3 are the only remaining choices, correct? ...and so on and so forth?
Yes, you chose Rock wins and that was one of the remaining two options.

Damas y Caballeros...
I was just confirming... lol. Thanks

What would happen if there where to be a tie?
There's not going to be.
Do you anticipate things getting going for the rest of us tomorrow, or will it be later in the week?
If you need a replacement for anyone who signed up that you don't think will actually participate, won't be a strong enough debater, or if someone suddenly has some kind of "emergency" and suddenly can not compete I'd like to throw my name in the hat to take anyone's place possibly. I wanted to get in on this one but somehow I missed it so I'm looking for any way of entry I can find. Is there any possibility to get in as a late entry as it doesn't appear that the matches have been made and such?
We are not doing any substitutions, as that would be unfair to those who signed up or those who got eliminated already. If someone fails to show up or respond then their opponent moves on. Thanks for the offer though.
