I was a competitor on my high school debate team for all 4 years of my high school career. I have competed in and broke in LD, PF, and Congress. I also won the SPAR tournament my senior year at Foley.
When judging LD, I appreciate a lot of clash- especially with values. Remember that your value is what you are upholding in the round. So, with that being said, really center your final focus around this. I do not accept bad attitudes in round. Be confident and respectful.
With Public Forum, please try to have your arguments be organized and logic based and support your claims with evidence. I really value numbers, statistics, and expert's opinions in round. Hypothetical situations are looked past, because usually PuFo has topics that have historical or current relevancy. Also, watch for expository "did you know" questions. Drives me nuts.
No definitions debates. Please.
