PF SPECIFIC - I have been a PF debater for the past four years and am a senior at State High. I will be flowing electronically, however, you must speak at a reasonable pace or risk your arguments not flowing through. Similarly, in later speeches do not just say card names without explaining the link and impacts. Likewise, no new cards in summary/final focus. Signposting will be imperative for a clean round. I am tech over truth (debate technique>argument believability) unless it is offensive/bigoted. I am familiar with theory and can generally evaluate accordingly. In terms of speaks, I will start at 28 and give and take accordingly.

ALL EVENTS - I have competed in parliamentary debate and observed many extemp rounds. I am not very familiar with LD, but highly respect the debate style. The same disposition goes with speech and all other events. I will try my best to give the most constructive feedback, as I know from years in your shoes how valuable decision comments can be. Above all, I prefer competitors with precise speech, clear presentation and a kind demeanor. Have fun!!!

Hey, I’m Evie! I’m a HS senior and debated PF as second speaker for nearly two years (but have forgotten a lot of things); this is my first time judging. I will do my best to keep time and will try to give visual warnings at 1 minute and 10 seconds. I start speaks at 28 and give/take accordingly.

I’m tech over truth unless it’s offensive/bigoted. I don’t know how to judge progressive arguments, so run at your own risk. I will pay attention to cross for speaks but I won’t flow cross, so bring things into your speeches.

I’m coming off a wrist injury and flow on paper, so spread at your own risk. Speak clearly! Rudeness will not be tolerated. Talking loudly is alright, borderline screaming and purposefully talking over opponents is not. Respect and basic courtesy goes a long way.

PF: you must flow your arguments through summary in order to bring up their impacts in FF. Weighing is a must. Dropping contentions will not count against you as long as you sufficiently weigh the impacts of what you flow through. Quality > quantity; make sure I can keep track of your impacts and your rationale behind weighing. No new evidence in second summary and beyond, please.

LD: since I have close to no experience, explain your value and value criterion as thoroughly as possible, as well as how your arguments connect to them. Emphasize why you should win in your last speech.

Good luck and have fun!
