Debates and rows on chat shows, sentence 11

There is no referee or score in a debate, so "winning" just means who seemed better, and each team sends helpers to tell reporters their person won.

Who acts: referee, winning, team, reporters, person · What happens: be, mean, seem, send, tell, win · To what, where: debate, helpers · Speech: someone speaks here
