Debaters should state their arguments and framework clearly, and present their evidence and counter-evidence in a clear and logical manner.

Hello y'all!

My name is Daud Mumin and I'm a debate student from Copper Hills High. I've done debate long enough to vote fairly and understand your arguments, a couple of ways to win to round in my lens:

- Sign post where you're making arguments so that I can flow them.

- Extend your cards and arguments through the round

- I will not flow anything through for you unless it goes uncontested.

- Don't make racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, or any argument that is offensive.

- I love clash during CX, this isn't a tea party, so I don't mind some aggressiveness.

- Although don't be an a**hole during round to your opponents

- I do a lot of speech as well as debate and I understand that your rebuttals aren't prepared before hand, but make sure to avoid filler words such as "ummm." and "like"

- This will play into your speaker points

- IN YOUR VOTER SPEECH PLEASE FOR GOD SAKE EXPLAIN YOUR VOTERS AND MAKE THEM CLEAR.

- I can't vote on impacts and voters I don't know about.

i'm am very new to the debate world, my paradigm is seeing that you know your evidence very well and being able to debate the specific warrants of each card.

Clean and clear speech, good tone and pacing will always win the day.

Must make the point clear, Why is the status quo wrong or right. If you have a piece of legislation you have to have a compelling reason why the status quo is not working, i.e. what are the harms.

I’m comfortable with lay and progressive debate. I have 4 years of LD debate experience.

I can keep up with most arguments, theory debate is ok, framework debate is ok but not preferred, don’t be offensive.

I love a good impact calc or voters at the end, I’ll only vote on points you tell me to vote on, so if you don’t bring it up don’t expect me to flow it or vote on it.

I don’t mind if you cut your opponent off in CX or act sassy, just be respectful to your opponent as a person.

I view my role in the round, is as a critic of the debate. Therefore, I rely upon the four competitor's to tell me how I am to evaluate the round, what's important in the round and where I am to look, to evaluate the round. I will fiercely defend my role as a critic, as I will not connect the dots, or complete incomplete arguments to the defense of teams.

these rounds are safe spaces
