don't be racist, sexist, or homophobic :)

good luck

I am a former student of Oklahoma State University. I debated in High School for 4 years and was also in mock trial. I debated Lincoln Douglass and also participated in extemp and congress. Overall, I am really committed to the idea that debate should be fun and easily accessible for everyone.

Debaters:

I will decide who wins the round based off of the flow. For LD (or pf with a framework) that will definitely make a strong impact on the overall flow of the round. For example, if Utilitarianism is the framework best argued for I will use that to weigh each individual argument in the case. That being said the framework is not the deciding factor in the round. While I understand that things can get really heated remember decorum is important!! Speaker points will be given off of: clarity, volume, diction, and professionalism.

Forensics:

Overall it is generally good to see creativity in these rounds. Other than that make sure you are making appropriate eye contact, volume, diction, emotion, and vocal inflection when appropriate.

Have fun everyone!!

Went to nationals twice in PF, got 5th at state in FX, got 8th at state in PF.

Totally comfortable with theory/progressive debate as long as it is not sloppy.

You can spread if you like just share the case with me first, and know that I will not give you any bonus points for doing it.

Add me to any evidence sharing chain (I will look at all the evidence) I will not flow against bad cards unless the opponents indict it but I might doc speaks for it.

Make the most of CX, because I will flow it through.

If you do not extend an argument, I will not either.

I am going to vote off warrants so make sure those are pretty clear.

Try to tell me what the bigger picture is, like what a AFF v NEG world looks like. (especially in National Circuit Tournaments)

Also, I appreciate any references to Taylor Swift or the exceedingly long One Piece anime series.

Overall, be respectful and have fun!!!
