I look for good reasoning, as well as solid evidence and good connections. I think that as long as you have good evidence understand if you are running any complicated theory or K’s make sure you fully understand how to implement it I will take it into consideration.

Did PF for 4 years went to TOC quarterfinals on this unsc topic lol

Tech> truth

Running prog arguments are risky, i don't vote for disclosure

I am unfamiliar with Ks run at your own risk

Hello, my name is Lachlan (he/him/his) and I'm a senior (12th grader) at Crystal Springs Uplands School. I've done parli debate since 8th grade. Honestly, I've been a pretty mediocre debater most of my career but this year, my partner (Lauren Liu) and I made it to quarters at the CHSSA tournament which was kinda cool since we were the first team from our school to qualify to the tournament! Here are some short paradigmatic preferences. I've only debated in parli so this is most applicable to that format but please still read if you're in a different event.

1. Truth > Tech to a certain extent. I won't vote on friv t but will drop your opponents if they're actually being abusive and you prove so. I discourage you from reading a full-on theory shell or k since this is a pretty lay tournament, but if you really want to please explain very thoroughly.
2. Terminalize and weigh impacts. Don't just tell me "Economic collapse is bad," explain the full link and impact chain. Tell me how I should be evaluating impacts (magnitude, scope, reversibility, timeframe). Otherwise, I'll default to scope and magnitude.
3. Set up framework strategically. I'll default your weighing mech to net benefits or utilitarianism otherwise.
4. I'm ok with tag-teaming but the active speaker has to repeat what their partner said.
5. You can go somewhat fast. I'll probably understand and process everything you say but can't guarantee I will write/type down everything if you're rushing through ~3+ contentions and responses on off-case in one speech.
6. POIs are good and I will flow them as offense/defense. I encourage everyone to ask at least one per speech. If you don't respond to at least one POI, I'll give you lower speaker points. However, please don't ask more than 3 per speech, that will also reduce your speaks.
7. I will protect time. If a blatantly new argument is brought up in a rebuttal speech, I won't flow it. However, still POO just to get in the habit of doing so. No crossfire, just state your POO in under 15s and let your opponents respond to it in under 15s.
8. Please don't shadow extend. MG should bring up any argument the PMR collapses to.
9. Signpost and stay organized. This will affect your speaks. I hate having to jump around my flow.
10. I stop flowing right when your time stops but will allow you a 10-second grace period to keep speaking. Off-time road maps are ok but limit it to like 15s max. Don't prep in between speeches.
11. I'm mostly Tabula Rasa. If you say something that's reasonable, I'll believe you unless your opponents say otherwise. However, if you tell me Elon Musk launched a manned spaceship to Mars and discovered it's made of cheese or something equally ridiculous, I won't believe you. Assume that I have a basic understanding of current events but still explain all evidence thoroughly.
12. I'll disclose my decision and provide verbal feedback after round. Also, I'm a very emotive person in terms of facial expressions so if I'm frowning or smiling don't read too much into it.
13. Be respectful and have fun! If you make me laugh during round, I'll give you an extra speaker point lol. Debate is a game at the end of the day :)

Please contact lguo24@crystal.org for additional feedback or my flow of your round.

I am a novice parent judge. I prefer good paced speech with appropriate debate language avoid reading. Remember to be respectable and maintain reasonable body language, style. Please practice active listening. This is for growing as debaters so bring your best, exchange ideas and above all have fun! Wish you the best.

I am a new parent judge.

Please signpost and speak clearly. Speaking reasonably fast is ok as long as I can understand and follow along; otherwise, I cannot fairly judge.

Avoid too much jargon. Preference for Case Debate (prefer if you avoid Kritik and non-friv theory).

Parli:

Do: Signposting/Clear speech structure, logic and links between your evidence and impacts, weigh the round for me.

Avoid: Spreading, Over-technical theory, Kritiks, and any type of harassing/discriminatory behavior.

Any other type of speech/debate: I have no experience, so please explain everything well.

if you debate the entire round without technology, you'll receive auto 30s

for everything else, please refer to rahil pasha's paradigm

for disclosure rohankrishna0719@gmail.com

run whatever you want. I don't like spreading so be reasonable with speed. Don't have to go super slow.

Framework is really important. Weigh and Give me clear voters.

Fourth year judging.

Please be up to the point and logical. I'd like to take notes and as well as observe so please do not spread and try your best to signpost.

Will look for how you articulate your contentions and the backing evidences..

Please be respectful to the opponents and the judge.

Looking for a fair debate.

Hi, I am a first-time parent judge. Please talk slowly and make sure to provide numerical values when weighing.

I prefer bullet points with strong supporting data.

When speaking to the points, please speak in reasonable normal pace instead of rushing so that I can understand your points clearly and judge around it.

I am new to LD debate, but I have experience in Congress as well as Parli.

I do not like tricks and can only handle moderate spread. I will yell clear once, and afterward I will stop flowing.

Any remarks thought to be derogatory to any group will not be tolerated.

Have a fun, informative debate!

Make logical arguments that are clear and easy to understand. Please speak slowly - I can't handle speed. Be respectful to your opponents and do your best!

I am a parent judge. I believe this is a great learning platform for all of us. I look forward to learning from your ideas, arguments and reasoning.

1. Greet everyone and introduce yourselves.

2. Demonstrate respect and professionalism. Adhere to time limits.

3. Be original and be comfortable. I will adjust to your style of presenting.

Please highlight maximum 3 main arguments for your case along with 3 supporting evidences. Additionally, pay attention to other team's arguments and respond accordingly.

My decision will be based on the strength of reasoning, impacts, rebuttal and weighing in Summary Speech(SS) and Final Focus(FF). Any additional weighing that is not stated in Summary Speech will be quantified in my choice. No new cards or arguments should be made in Final Focus(FF).

Hope you will have great learning experience and have fun!

I am a parent judge who judges LD. Speak clearly and find good cards. Avoid rambling and speak confidently!

I am new to judging, but no new to debating. I find the strongest arguments to be ones which include cited evidence and a compelling structure with insightful interpretations of evidence.

Be clear. Be concise. Be confident.
