I am a lay judge. If you make everything clear to me and speak at an appropriate pace, I will vote for you. Please have organized speeches, so I can make sure to catch all of your arguments and evidence. Please weigh in last speech, and make it easy for me to vote for someone. Most importantly, please be respectful to each other and have fun!

I'm a Former MSPDP debater, Former-PF debater, and former coach for Winston Churchill Middle School. You will find me often judging MSPDP rounds in the CRDL circuit and now CVFL. I have debated 3 years MSPDP, 1 year PF, and judged for 6 years. (3yr MSPDP, 2yr PF, 1yr Gen)I also judge elementary debates and most speech competitions that Churchill attends. I also judge for Mira Loma, where I attended HS, and was also ASB President. I am currently a college student attending UC Santa Cruz.

In terms of my style of judging, I will base my decisions off of:

-any established/contested framework

-unrefuted contentions

-when debaters successfully argue a contention

-Crossfire.

Speaker Points

You'll most likely get high speaks from me anyways, but if you want a 30, win and don't be bad. Here are some other bonuses:

+ 1 for any Taylor reference in the speech (Only applicable once)

+ 0.005 for every second left in prep time

+ 0.1 for every use of the words: OpenAI, Kanye, Twitter

Hello all!

I have experience judging middle school debates and judging PF for the past two years. A few things to note as far as how I judge:

1) Please be respectful to your opponents!

2) Please casedrop or email me your cases so I can have them open while you speak. I would like to be included in any email chains you create. Email:laviananth@gmail.com

3) Please keep your delivery slow and clear. I appreciate a good summary of arguments and clear analysis of why you should win in the final focus.

4) I expect the second half of the round to be filled with clear extension of impacts (tell me why it matters). I will make my final decision based on what impacts have been addressed AND how big you can prove they are.

Good luck!

I am not a lay judge.

I am a pf debater some policy experience, I can evaluate progress args but am not the best at it.

Weighing and spelling out to me as a judge why your arguments are more important than your opponents is significant and holds worth for the outcome.

It would be much preferred if each speaker spoke clearly and at a slower pace. The faster the pace, the harder it gets to process everything of significance, therefore, speaking slower has more advantages. However, I do not mind if the pace is still slightly fast.

I expect a clean, respectful round where both teams hold true to being mindful of their attitude and tone. While I love to see clash in a round, I hope that nothing gets too aggressive. I like to see strong arguments thoroughly presented with evidence that backs them up.
