Don't try to spread if you don't know how, but feel free to spread if able. Be civil with your opponent and don't take what happens in the round too seriously. Don't be offensive, that includes racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia, etc. Any kind of offensive behavior will result in an immediate loss.

But just remember that everyone (including yourself) understands what you're saying. Try not to stress too much, and have a good time.

- I guess the biggest thing is just to be clear. That means make it clear why your arguments function as they do, be specific when necessary, and argue in an order that makes some sense (usually just point by point down the flow).

- Emphasize framework and impacts. If I don't know why and how I'm voting then the whole thing becomes kind of futile, so those are definitely key.

- I'm good with pretty much any kind of case, including anything progressive. I'm can generally manage speed as well.

- The more creative the case or at least the round, the better. Stuff that's really out there always makes for a more engaging round, but if you have a serious/standard case, I won't hold it against you and will still essentially judge based on the quality of the debate.

- Don't be racist, sexist, homophobic, ableist, etc. Pretty simple.

don’t be amna. that is all.

Don't make random arguments that don't relate to the topic please.

-be clear about what you're arguing

-tell me how I'm voting/ talk about framework

-don't be offensive (homophobia, racism, transphobia, ableism, etc.) this will guarantee a loss

-I'm pretty good with speed but just make sure I can understand what you're saying

-be civil with your opponents and don't take anything that happens in the round seriously

have fun :)
