*******************************************************************
>Reported Vote: club// Mod action: [Removed]
>Points Awarded: 4 points to con for arguments and grammar

>Reason for Decision: Arguments:
Pro conceded in the first round, saying the best for last was a bad business plan. Pro mostly manipulated the meaning so it fit around his arguments, making "the best" probably the least productive, and healthy things, like having fun and eating cake. The arguments he made were fairly weak as Con could've just manipulated it back. Con actually had solid arguments stating, that the best deteriorates if you use it last, and many other points about food.
TRN also was confused about time frames. If one is against "best for last" it doesn't mean they're for "best for first"
Sources:
Con didn't provide sources but, probably used them, whereas Pro used and posted sources. Because of lack of sources for con, I can't judge sources, therefore awarding a tie.
S&G
Both had pretty bad grammar, but TRN had significantly more occurrences.
Conduct
Good conduct for both of them.

Reason for Mod Action>The voter does not appear to sufficiently survey the main arguments or counter arguments of the debate and weigh them to make a decision. While the voter references some arguments - it is unclear why one set of arguments were not sufficient to over turn the other (only statements that they were).

For S&G, the voter only provide a general comparison of S&G: To award S/G points, the voter must (1) give specific examples of S/G errors, (2) explain how these errors were excessive, and (3) compare each debaters' S/G.

i think it all depends on how slaty the best is
