I did debate for all four years in high school and graduated in 2016. Speed is generally okay if you are clear. If you think you are being clear, probably slow down a little bit further and then you will be. I will yell clear if you aren't and generally will not hold it against you as long as you fix the issue. I will listen to just about anything but you have to tell me why I should care about it. If you want it to be a voting issue, give me an explanation as to why. If no one gives me an explanation on how to evaluate the round and why, I will revert to my own judgement- something neither of us wants to happen. If the other team provides a way to evaluate the round, you have to tell me why yours is better. You can probably consider me tabs provided you actually give me a way to evaluate the round. If that is absent, I am an engineer and will evaluate things based on facts heard in round and weigh them as a logical thinker.

I debated for four years in high school on the Minnesota circuit, making it to state and nationals a few times. I am fine with speed, but you MUST be understandable. If I can't tell what you are saying, chances are it won't be on the flow and someone will be upset. I have no preference towards policy/critique based debate, just prove to me why you should win. An easy way to get the ballot is to do impact analysis. Please do not be rude during cross ex, or in any other part of the debate. Tag team cross ex is fine. I don't have any objections to arguments, so juts read what you think you can win on.
