Quality of sources is the most important, which I had and used to substantiated my arguments and the support of my arguments against rebuttals.
When one side has no sources or too few, then quantity is reason for voting as well.
So in this case I won both in quality and quantity, which would warrant me the two points.
Direct quote from the voting guide:
“Sources. Sources should only be awarded because one side had better quality sources. Saying that one side had more sources is never going to be sufficient. If one side had so few sources that it constituted inadequate source support, then you can consider quantity. But normally, you need to show that one side had sources of superior quality.”

Pro: *cites 15 sources from academic books and studies*
Con: *cites no sources*
Judges: "Yeah, that's a tie on sources"
*Curb Your Enthusiasm track plays*
Any coincidence that the actual votes and vote bombs were both for Con? Even though con mentioned no sources, made no arguments for his BoP, and deliberately derailed the debate into very strange areas including trying to weasel out of the BoP in the 3rd round.
I have never been more confused by people's votes in my entire life lol.
I guess that's the problem with these sites. They don't have the resources to get impartial judges, or at least judges who have the time to read through a long debate.
I was thinking about a solution for this: perhaps for each debate, both sides put in something like $2 or more. Part of that goes toward judges and part toward site maintenance.
That is incorrect according to the voting guide.
