I seem to stand corrected. It seems to be a debate with many different colleges.
I seriously have no idea what is going on here. I am curious as to wtf the judges were thinking...

It all started with tabula rasa in the 80s. Why use logic and reasoning? Logic is an artificial construct created by 'the man'. The judge comes into the round with a blank slate. He/she accepts any argument until it is refuted.
Taken to the extreme it would go like this:
Affirmative team: "My standard is simple. If I can overpower my female opponent and rape her within my 10 minute time limit then I win. If she has an orgasm the debate is over."
Negative team: "That's outrageous and I call for an immediate dismissal and his arrest."
Judge: "Well, Negative, I can't be judgmental about his argument because I am very open minded."
