Double loss

Double loss is a voting option on Team Policy and Lincoln Douglas ballots. The "double loss" option is not a tie, but rather a disciplinary measure; it is intended to be used if the judge feels that he or she cannot in good conscience vote for either team (for example, if both teams are exceedingly disrespectful.) A double loss means the round has no winner - both teams lose the round.

Genuine double losses are very rare in NCFCA/Stoa competition.
