Thanks to Jonathan Paul for the updates.
I'm assuming that the Wake CS v.s. Emory GJ debate was settled on a 4-1 decision? You have it listed as the only octafinal debate with a 7-judge panel
@Trevor Aufderheide
It's possible that it was actually 4-1, but it could definitely have been a 5-judge panel: each team gets a strike card with 7 judges, so if neither team opts to strike a judge the panel remains at 7.
@Bill Batterman
Wow, I didn't know that was possible. What if one team decided to strike a judge while the other team opted out? Moreover, would you consider it strategic in some instances to not strike a judge?
What happened in the NU/WGA debate?
There were ten judges on the strike card and each team received up to three strikes. The reason we got a seven judge panel is that we happened to strike the same three judges as Wake. Similarly, if each team had struck three different judges, one of the four remaining judges would be randomly eliminated for a three judge panel.
The other octas teams combined to strike 4-5 judges between them, so those rounds all had five person panels.
11 judges on the strike card.
