I judge your score based on a combination of how well it is written, the content of the speech, the delivery of the speech, and how it applies based on what has happened thus far in the chamber. I will rank you based on your scores, your questioning, and what your impact was on the chamber.

I want to see rebuttals and new content.

I do not want to see repetitious points or speeches with all words, no content.

I want questions that influence the flow of debate.

I don’t want gotcha questions that are only for making your opponent looking bad (If it otherwise influences debate it is okay, but don’t do it maliciously).

Some level of purposeful blocking and vocal inflections during your speech would be recommended.

My name is Denise Lamboley, from Sarasota, FL. I am a Congress judge, and have been judging Congress regularly for 3 years. I have extensive knowledge of how a chamber should be run, and I have the expertise to judge a National tournament. In addition to judging with the Sarasota Speech & Debate team, I recently was a Congress judge at the Blue Key tournament at UF, and have judged at Extensive National qualifiers, and I have judged some of the best congress competitors in the country. I would call myself a "flay" judge. I value the argumentation throughout the round as well as the personality and speaking talent you also have in the round.
