I look for arguments that follow the claim, warrant, impact structure - give us substantiated and meaningful reasons to either affirm or negate the resolution. You should be able to logically explain why your impacts outweigh your opponents’ impacts. I also firmly believe that debate should be a safe and welcoming place for all participants, so I have no tolerance for competitors who are rude to their opponents.

As far as experience goes, I debated all through high school and college and have been a coach/judge for the last 5 years, but I have limited experience in Public Forum.
