Currently the schema only allows a binary choice between having broken or not. This isn't representative of real tournaments that often have a whole scale of break categories. There needs to be a way to store this information.

Further complications are introduced by tournaments such as EUDC allowing double breaking. This runs into a similar problem as in #2 (comment).

This could provide some useful data for analysis (e.g. deciding a partner for majors).

Most notably WSDC has this feature with replies. The schema currently only supports one speech per round.

At the very least a "speaker_name" might be useful. Though the necessity is not immediately clear given that DebaterJSON is mainly intended to store individual's records anyways.

Currently the schema only allows recording of the categories the speaker did break in, not those they could have broken in.

Including this information might provide some useful data to compare, for example, the rates of breaking in ESL vs open.

I can see some clear merits to either side. The main argument in favour seems to me to be that it would greatly improve ease of parsing if all the attributes can be known ahead of time. On the other hand, different people might have use cases that currently are not covered by the schema, such as different formats or additional data on speeches.

Implementing it would be as trivial as adding some "additionalProperties": false attributes.
