I have been coaching Debate for two years.

For Lincoln Douglas- I judge off of who upholds their Value and Value criterion the best while also attacking their opponent's case. I appreciate clear sign postings and do not mind spreading if you enunciate well. Self-timing is fine by me.

For Public Forum- I judge off of who upholds their case the best while also attacking their opponent's case. I appreciate clear sign postings and do not mind spreading if you enunciate well. Self-timing is fine by me.

For Congress- I judge based on your speaking, how well you answer questions, and overall confidence. If I can tell you are prepared you are better off.
