My name is Jodi Arozarena and I am from Newsome High School in Lithia Florida.

I am what most debaters would call a “flay” judge. I have judged a considerable amount of Public Forum Rounds over the past 4 years, most of which occurred at the national level. I can follow your arguments and I will do my best to keep track of them on my flow. It is your responsibility as the debater to speak at a moderate and clear pace so that I can effectively get your argument down, if I don’t flow it, I won’t be evaluating it with my decision at the end of the round.

Please be civil with your opponent and clear in your speaking so that I can most effectively evaluate the round.

Thanks, and Good Luck!!
