I look for well articulated arguments and a demonstration of understanding. Anyone can get up and read evidence, so show me that you understand how that evidence proves the point you are trying to make. I prefer good analysis of a few arguments rather than a large array of arguments. (Don't spread!)

Not everything leads to war.

Be nice to each other.

Don't spread, you are novices, I probably won't be able to understand you.

Aff- Intros and conclusions are cool but not needed. (Take some time at the end to explain each advantage and how you solve.) Answer the negative teams arguments the first time with cards!

Neg- I don't mind DA's but please try and have specific links. I LOVE topicality but make sure you have all parts and it needs to make sense. (don't run LPR on green cards) You are novices, I will not listen to a K. CP's are okay but I don't really like them.

P.S. I am a 4th year debater, I know when you make stuff up. I don't believe in "The Rules of Debate" so don't try. Also I need to know where to put things on the flow!!!

Former Newton debater, I’m good at following arts, but I’ve had some time off, so just be clear.

T: I dig topicality, don't drop the standards and voters and 1. aff better have counter s/v, 2. neg better address them.

DA: Just understand the story and be able to explain links.

CP: I don't buy a lot of CPs, but if its your strat, run it, just bring me along for the ride.

CX: Assertive, not mean. Use this to point out flaws.

Uhhhh errr uhmmm

I forgor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
