The Oracy Record

Adjudication

Running a debate requires too many resources.

The skill of oracy is being limited by logistics, and debate is the arena that fosters it.

Logistics is the bottleneck, and it costs students the chance to build oracy through debate. Many never get a round at all. Those who do are rarely given feedback focused enough to reflect on, learn from, and improve.

Oracy is a skill and debate is the tool that builds it. MyOracy takes the logistics off the room, so the skill is what remains. We make sure your debaters own their oracy.

In a world ever more technological, the spoken word only grows more significant.

Second Proposition03:41Transcribed live

Madam Speaker, my opponent's case rests on a premise she has not defended: that selection identifies ability rather than preparation. I will grant her the second half of her argument, because it is the stronger half.

Every word notedEach aspect of the argument analysed against objective criteria.

Assessing every aspect of a debate while giving feedback and instructions at the same time is not possible, so we do it for you. MyOracy handles the logistics so you can run great debates and focus on coaching and teaching.

What we take off you

  • Timing

    Speech clocks, protected time, and overrun.

  • Structure

    Opening, rebuttal rounds, and closing, called in order.

  • Format

    The rules of the round held without a referee.

  • Adjudication

    Objective criteria, applied identically every time.

The Adjudica rubric

The criteria are drawn from the established formats, and applied the same way every round.

Three criteria, scored out of one hundred on every speech.

  1. 01

    Content

    The substance of the case: claims, evidence, weighing, and whether the logic actually holds.

  2. 02

    Style

    How it was delivered: cadence, articulation, filler words, and whether the tone carried the room.

  3. 03

    Strategy

    The judgement calls: what you chose to contest, how you prioritised, and whether your rebuttal met their strongest point or their easiest one.

Where the criteria come from.

Not invented. Drawn from the formats debaters actually compete in.

Adjudica is not modelled on any one format. It takes the parts of each that hold up under an AI judge, so a verdict is legible to any coach who has ever judged a round.

That the platform be shown rather than described.

Thirty minutes. We run a live adjudicated round with your debaters and walk through the verdict it produces.

We will use these details only to arrange and follow up on your demonstration.
