Note that:

1. The Rating scores are all between 24 and 30 with 24 and 25 being rare and for speakers truly in need of improvement.

2. The speaker’s name, rating, and ranking are very clearly marked—that is important for the tournament to know your scoring.

3. The judges have checked comments, provided further explanation, and additional comments. The comments select out things the speaker did well and how the speaker could improve.
