I run an NSDA District, Citron Online www.citrononline.org, for students that can't compete in the Sabbath. As part of the district we run 20+ tournaments per year online and open to entire country. I am curious about your experience as a debater and judging. Particularly I would like to understand how often as a debater you felt you had a) biased judges to extent that they could not flow all arguments and b) situations like you describe of opponents doing OPPO research outside the round. We are setting guidelines for our district and want to make sure we include only open minded judges and put in rules that prevent such behavior.
