Background:
-2 years in Public Forum Debate in Ohio
-Qualified for State Tournament both times
-Email: ellen.cheng@emory.edu
Judging Preferences:
-I judge off the flow
-I can handle fast speeds of talking, but please enunciate and speak clearly
-I value respect in the round. Don't be condescending, rude, or interruptive
-I do not flow CX. If you need to, include your CX point in your speech
-Off-time road maps are appreciated. Please signpost as well.
-I will only disclose when it's allowed
-Please keep track of time by yourselves.
-You may only run theory if the other opponent understands/runs theory as well
How I Make My Decision:
-I will vote for the team that weighs the best and also explains their weighing
-Please make sure your arguments interact with your opponent's arguments. If arguments do not interact, I will consider that contention a wash
-If you don't flow your argument through summary to final focus, then I will not use your argument in my final deliberation
-No theory. I don't understand it
Notes:
-I usually don't call for evidence, will only do it if necessary
