## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

This dataset could enable analysis of judge behavior and the autonomous classification of a judge based on their paradigm.

### Source Data

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

Sourced from [Tabroom](https://tabroom.com), data were extracted and cleaned from the raw markup using [BeautifulSoup](https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/).

### Annotations

#### Annotation process

A proficient debater (state champion, nationally ranked) with experience with a variety of judges was responsible for annotation.

#### Who are the annotators?

Adithya Vaidyanathan {adithya [at] debate.land}.

### Personal and Sensitive Information

Judges' personal email addresses are often included in their paradigms as a way to provide debaters a point of contact. Since this information was publicly available on [Tabroom](https://tabroom.com), no new data is being revealed.

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Other Known Limitations

This data only considers national circuit paradigms and it is known that judging philosophy (and subsequently, their paradigms) vary greatly between the national and the local levels.
