I am not a very experienced judge but I have been judging for a year or two. I do write down notes of the debate and I flow all of the information you state. Please speak slowly and clearly or I won't flow what you have said, and expect me to call for cards at the end on the debate. I also prefer off time road maps in order to clear up what will be discussed in the speech.

I am a parent judge with approximately 3 years of judging experience in PF and LD. I maintain a light flow but I am closer to a LAY judge than to a flow judge. Please NO SPREADING - please speak at a slow to medium pace so we can follow you along.

Also, I ask that you be respectful to opponents and not interrupt them during their time to talk. Please allow them to finish their point before you ask questions. Please do not shout or be too aggressive because that will lower you speaker points.

I am not a fan of Kritik or theory arguments, but will allow it if you take extra time to walk through your points slowly.

If there is a clear winner in the round, I will disclose. But more often I will take necessary time after the round to decide and then submit RFD and feedback through Tabroom.
