Background: I have debated LD for about 2 years in highschool. I debated PFD for 1 year and am a two time qualifier to the NSDA national tournament both times in WSD.

LD: I’m a very Traditional Judge. I don’t want to see any spreading, speed is fine but if I can’t understand you I won’t flow you. I love to see clash in Rounds and during crossfire. However, if you bring something up in crossfire you must bring it up in your next Speech or I won’t flow it. In LD I want to see logical arguments however I’m fine with you using common sense arguments however I do wanna see evidence backing up these arguments

PFD: Like LD I’m a traditional judge I wanna see clash in both crossfire and speeches. I am fine with speed, but not spreading again if I can’t understand you I won’t flow you! If you do bring something up in crossfire I want you to bring it up in your next speech or I won’t consider it! In PFD I want to see you use not just evidence but also logic in your cases.

WSD: Being someone who loves the style of WSD I will traditionally go by the rules (I.e. conversational speaking, avoid traditional debate lingo, etc.) but overall don’t be straight rude to your opponents it makes you look bad and just be courteous to your opponents.

Do not spread. Speak at a reasonable pace. I cannot judge when I cannot understand what is being said.

Define your terms and explain specialized vocabulary to allow understanding for the audience/judge/opponent.
