I like to see good presence and pace from in your speeches. I look for data used to support your case and also impact information to support your speech. Paint me a picture to help motivate to think. I enjoy a good opening but make it connect to your speech and look for a good summary.

The debate space is one for you, not me, so do as you please. Anything goes, have fun, do your best.

Congress

I have limited experience judging, so go easy on me. I will be flowing arguments on my computer so don't feel the need to look at me. I am not much one for pathos as I am for ethos and logos so take that into mind.

LD

I weigh the debate based off the value/criteria. The person who best meets these is the one who wins, and if neither side provides one I may be obliged to vote neg on presumption. Winning that you have a better value is not enough to win the debate. Winning that you meet the criteria wins you the debate. Citing that they broke a rule (besides lying about a card) probably won't get you very far with me. I am an anything goes judge, so run as you please as long as your opponent is not skewed out of the round.

CX/PF

I will divert to a cost/benefit analysis if a framework is not given. I also assume the negation is status quo if a counter advocacy is not given. Citing link/impact turns will get you very far with me as it is easy offense to apply across case. If there are card contentions I will read them at the request of the debaters. Generally I think speed has its limit, so go fast but not so fast that I can't get your taglines. I have 4 years of collegiate debate experience but I am not a god at speed. Also, be nice during cross. I find pompous people won't lose on attitude but may be deducted speaker points.
