I am a new volunteer judge for this tournament so please adjust your presentation styles accordingly.

- Conversational

- Refutes arguments thoroughly

- Even speed

- No spreading. Without cards, and without shared documents, it’s incredibly hard to hear clearly. Online debate exacerbates this issue, as mic quality can be terrible. I won’t vote on spreading, but, if you are speaking fast enough to where I can’t understand you, I won’t be able to completely flow your argument and you will appear to have dropped arguments.

- Easy-to-understand link chains

- I am more concerned about the quality of arguments than the technicality of your arguments. Better arguments = better communication.

- Understandable rhetoric
