Additional remarks:
DO NOT SPREAD! I DO NOT want this to be a voting issue, so please speak understandably in terms of pace.
IF you're going to run Theory or a K, PLEASE prepare to explain it as though I am a toddler (even though I look nothing like one)... If it makes sense when you're done, I am willing to vote on it, but if I don't understand it I can't vote for it.
I will weigh the round as it's presented to me in terms of benefits v. harms and choose my winner that way.
