past experience - varsity debater, second speaker, above average student most days, state champ (sd of course so take that as you will), nsda nationals 2019, circuit tourney stuff, toc gold tourney all that jazz

weighing will win.

i will give +0.1 speaker points for every tabletote height setting used above the first.

sexism, ableism, racism, any negative isms ----> voted down.

interrupting, not tolerated. just kidding. go ahead, but don't mansplain or waste my time.

about my vibe: i am nice. i promise. my thinking face is grouchy. relax, y'all are wholesome.

if I shake my head profusely, change the topic.

on debate: use your prep time. prep, get to know your partner, do your calc hw, cry. i don't care, but use it wisely.

if your impact is so HUGE or TERMINAL that you will spend an hour trying to convince to care, act like you care. (EX: if global warming is going to kill us should make me want to buy a new prius after the round)

if you can not provide your evidence within 2 minutes, it does not exist in my mind sweetie.

policy on ev exchange: exchange EV, take prep, read it, stop prep, hand it back.

as a judge, i will set my bias aside to the best of my abilities. BUT. let me acknowlege one. to my fellow female debaters, y'all are killing it. don't forget that.

Traditional judge. Many years of experience, but not a fan of speed or kritiks. Approaches rounds as a policymaker unless persuaded otherwise. Speaking skills are important and the flow is important. In Lincoln Douglas and Public Forum rounds, Rhetorical skills and audience communication skills will weight heavily with me. I take old-school, in-depth PAPER notes. Argue “man in the street” to me.

Background: I did four years of PF in SD and qualified for nationals in three of those years. Now, I attend Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN (Go Gusties!).

How I Judge:

1) I try my best to flow, but it's up to the speakers to weigh arguments and persuade me.

2) Impacts are second to warrants. If there is clash at the warrant level, I will prefer the side that best explains why theirs are more correct.

3) I will be listening in crossfire, not only for arguments and demonstration of topic knowledge but also for rudeness. I believe that being unduly disrespectful can warrant a loss (or at least much lower speaker points).

Preferences:

1) Articulate speech is nice, but I'm more concerned about content. I can handle speed relatively well.

2) I think it is very important that the second team's rebuttal responds to the first team's rebuttal. In summary and final focus, please weigh arguments in some fashion.

3) In SD, theory/counterplans/plans/Ks are not used in PF, so I do not have any experience with them in rounds. Lest you leave me totally confused, I would avoid using them.

I will evaluate and allow anything to a reasonable level, if I feel your running a case like a policy debater either speed wise or kritik wise I will not flow certain contentions ( Because of speed and you will know because I will put my pen down) and while I'm open minded and I will not flow kritiks if I feel they are abusive or not clash oriented, and thus I will not weigh them when concluding the round. 'I will weigh other arguments' Also I don't believe in morality as a value. Value to me translates what is the most moral thing to value and then criterion is the best way to translate this. 

Also I will buy anything without bias to the best of my effort, I will flow Value: Freedom Criterion: Elmination of Humanity for example. Also I will flow plan text but appeal to higher standards of morality I value broad morality more so, I know I should value framework debate over contention level but alas I'm falliable and I love contention level debate.
