I did LD in high school and preferred a progressive style. I can handle speed, and will give an audible "clear" if I cannot understand you. COMPREHENSIVE UNDER VIEWS AND CLEAR EXTENSIONS. Do not extend a point hidden in the interior of a card that was not stressed prior. I think that spreading through key parts of evidence (tags and crucial lines) is abusive, especially when an opponent does not seem comfortable with speed. 

Original arguments delight me, and VERY original arguments delight me more! Make me laugh I like that.

Racism/ Sexism/ Homophobia/ Classicism/ other offensive "isms" are not original.

I debated for 4 years for West High School in Salt Lake City, Utah and competed locally and nationally. I am now a junior at the University of Utah.

Substantively I will evaluate anything. I primarily ran policy args and Ks when I debated, which means you should probably weigh arguments, make extensions, and have clear warrants for every argument.

I generally find tricks and theory to be less persuasive. That said, I default to competing interps, no RVIs, and drop the arg.

I do not coach and am not familiar with the current topic. You will make the round much easier for me to evaluate if you clearly explain your arguments and impact them well.

Speed is fine, but remember to slow down on taglines and authors. Have fun!
