As a debate parent parent and a lawyer I care most that the arguments are carried through the round, I should not have to do to much work while judging your speeches should tell me how to judge.

I've been judging debate events for 3 years now and have enjoyed the variety in events and topics. I believe in any and all debate styles, provided you are clear, your arguments link directly to the resolution, and you do not abuse or demean your opponent. I have a zero tolerance policy for disrespect to include any form or racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc.

Feel free run whatever you want. I lean toward reason and logic. I enter the round as a blank slate and will evaluate the round based on definitions and topics as discussed. Make sure your arguments include impacts - the more specific and tangible, the better. When providing numbers and statistics, make sure you have evidence to support your arguments.
