Decision making
Not much time to think after the round.
Think during the preparation time!
(Especially, highlight the attacks thatneeds to be defended.
If those are dropped in D. the issue isprobably gone)Split decisions• Unanimous callNo need to talk
• Untidy Debates with
No need to talk (split ismany issues not resolved OK. It’s left to the judges)• Unthinkable Voting issues The Main judge shouldat least confirm.
• Splits on “Clear-cutdebates” (for experienced You seriously have tojudges)talk.

For the sake of debaters, sometimes judgesshould have the courage to ask the other judge;
and should swallow their pride and yield.

Typical Bad Judges• 1. Style-Judge スタイル・ジャッジ
Subjective judging by speech styles• You should be issue-based judges, notspeech based judges.
• 2. Cherry-pickers つまみ食いジャッジ• You should always take notes thoroughly andtry considering all the interactions.
• 3. Judge-Debaters• You are not debaters, leave the debates tothe debaters!

Bad judges in specificTips for avoiding style judging:Don’t get carried away by the summaryspeeches. The issue must BOTH haveimportance AND a factual proof on
causality (solvency, links)

Part 3: Topic• Resolved: That the Japanese Government
should ban production and sales of fossilfueled cars, including hybrid cars, by 2035.
• 日本政府は，（ハイブリッド車も含む）化石燃料車の製造と販売を2035年までに禁止すべきである。

Definitions
1. “Fossil-fueled cars” assumes all passenger cars
which use fossil fuel. “Fossil fuel” in this sense
includes petroleum (or its derivations such as
gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.), natural-gas, and coal(and their derivations as well). “Hybrid cars”, should
also be the target of the ban as long as it has fossilfueled engines. (Technically, so called “plug-inhybrids” are more like electric cars, but to makethings simple, they should be counted as “hybrids”
and should be part of the ban, as long as they also
have gas engines.)

Definitions
2. Alternatives for “fossil-fueled”
passenger cars are not defined here.
They should not be limited by plans.
(Meaning, it is up to predictions using
evidence: Electric cars, hydrogen cars, etc.
may be the front runners.)

Definitions

3. “Production and sales” should mean
production and sales in Japan. The usage offossil-fueled cars is not automatically bannedat the moment of 2035.
car parts (including gas engines) are not partof this ban.
“Japanese car makers” can make/sell gas carsabroad (when the country’s law permits)
Gas cars imported to Japan is banned
Used gas cars cannot be sold in Japan.
Used cars could be exported

Definitions• 4. Production and sales of fossil-fueled (nonpassenger) trucks, special vehicles are notincluded in the ban (thus out of this debate
topic).

NO OTHER PLANS will be allowed• Banning the usage of gas cars.
• Heavily taxing the gas cars. Adding new
subsidies to ban usage.
• Regulating electric power plants (like banningthermal plants).
• Banning the sales of USED cars abroad.
• Subsidies to help out the gas car/car-partsindustry

However, debaters can argue as a “prediction”
in their ADs or DAs that some of these will
happen in the future (with evidence!)

Negative Position ≠ Jpn. Gov.
• The NEG should advocate a future Japanesesociety without the bans on fossil fueled cars(including Hybrid cars).
• Even if there were an announcement from thecurrent Japanese Government, showing that
there will be some future bans on gasoline
cars and/or hybrid cars, the debates should
not be affected.
• Neither side are allowed to attack/defend theuniqueness of the opponents’ arguments,
claiming that the current government intends
to ban gas cars in the future anyway.
