The root of Debate is to persuade the judge that your argument is the better option. To that end, spreading is not an attempt to persuade but an attempt to overwhelm your opponent. That said, spreading to create greater depth is fine.

Rudeness or condescension toward your competitors is never welcome.

Kritiks are fine, though you'll need to link them to something tangible.

Debate is mostly about education and partly about fun. Try your best but don't take things too seriously as we won't actually implement any of the plans based on how a high school Debate round goes.

I have no issue with counter-plans but they are often easy to defeat.

Feel free to ask me questions for clarity or specifics on any of this.

Keeping track of your time and your opponents' time is your job and part of the challenge of Debate.
