If there is a judge on the panel who is explicitly anti-spreading because of accessibility concerns or they lack experience judging "faster" debates, I would prefer you slow down. Teams that do not "punt" a judge will be awarded. Isolating a judge will likely result in me docking your speaker points. If another team starts the fire, then you can reciprocate but please attempt to have points of your speech where you speak to the other judge(s).
