Even a few seconds of listening to them "debate" is painful. I pity the judges.
I can't imagine what the competition sounded like if these are the winners.
Several years ago I saw a video of a debate between normal debaters and this kind of black ghetto clacking. It was like a bad acid trip. The black debaters won and I couldn't understand anything they said.
I think this was about 5 years ago and now many normal debaters have stopped attending many competitions, though some are still traditional style debates.
The big issue is that many people have made their livelihood being debate coaches and judges do unless they give up their career they go along with it.
