Round 1
Forfeited
Criterion | Con | Tie | Pro | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|
Better arguments | ✗ | ✗ | ✔ | 3 points |
Better sources | ✗ | ✔ | ✗ | 2 points |
Better spelling and grammar | ✗ | ✔ | ✗ | 1 point |
Better conduct | ✗ | ✔ | ✗ | 1 point |
Reason:
Yes means yes and no means no.
Con says 'no'. Con forfeits Round 1. Pro contradicts 'no' with an almighty 'yes'.
Pro states that since the consensus is 0.9r equals 1 (which they didn't prove was the consensus with any reliable source), they have pushed the burden of proof onto Con.
Con lost.

Better arguments | ✗ | ✗ | ✔ | 3 points |

Better conduct | ✗ | ✗ | ✔ | 1 point |
Reason:
What participant made more convincing arguments? There was no actual argumentation in this debate. However, Pro pointed out that there is a consensus among mathematicians that 0.9r = 1. While Pro doesn't provide actual evidence for this argument, Con drops it and drops Pro's claim that the burden of proof, therefore, lies on Con. Given these drops, "arguments" points go to Pro.
What participant had better conduct? Con forfeited one round and *effectively* forfeited another. Thus, the conduct point goes to Pro.
