In competitive policy debates teams lose points for every argument their opposition makes which they fail to address.
So to game that system it's become a norm to "spread" (speed read) as many arguments as possible in the allotted time so that they can't address them all.

I don't know if/how they judge the quality of the arguments and rebuttals.
I only know about it because I tuned in to a Uni debate on a subject I thought would be interesting a few years back, only to see that nonsense. Then on here there were a few threads about it because a bunch of posters were upset that a bunch of African American girls won the US series.
 
Boil some water, toss a few tacos in there, and baby, you got yourself a soup. A taco soup.
