District F Championship Round - Part 5 of 6

I asked Philippa Burgess (Evaluation Contest Target Speaker) for her thoughts on why I took 2nd place rather than 1st.

Philippa said I was the only evaluator that pointed out that she was giving a persuasive speech that did not achieve its goal. She said that provided clarity for my constructive criticism. However, I didn't mention the obvious mistakes that all the other evaluators pointed out, such as making better use of her props and the stage. If I had taken only a few seconds just to list the obvious mistakes that might have made the difference between 1st and 2nd place.
