I debated public forum for four years in high school and currently coach public forum. I frequently judge PF and LD and am fine with speed so long as you are not spreading.

Hello I am an ex debater who was ld for auburn highschool

i am ok with speed

make sure to provide an offtime roadmap

not great with progressive debate.

Be as respectful as possible I’m crossfire I will not take off from the actual debate but will lower speaker points

try and use all ur time and try use all ur prep time

framework is very important to me so make sure ur framework is carried throughout ur case

I have a theatre background but have been coaching and judging on and off for over 20+ years. I want to hear what you are saying and feel what you are trying to convey. I expect professionalism and courtesy in the round and out of the round. I don't appreciate spreading, I want to see a debate not a race. I love innovation in ideas and I appreciate pushing the boundaries. BUT, I admire old school standards. I probably won't smile but that doesn't mean that I don't like what you are doing. (I am concentrating trying to find constructive criticisms.) I can multitask, so don't think because I am writing that I am not watching. I don't prefer to disclose.
