Hi! I am a PF debater and a flow judge. Tech>Truth I have debated throughout my high school years, so speed is free with me. ENUNCIATE if you are using speed. I won't write down what I don't understand.

It is your job to weigh in speeches, and it is my job to judge you based off of that. If you give me no weighing, I can't really do the comparative analysis for you- the debate becomes bland and I give a decision that you might not be satisfied with.

Try to frontline in second rebuttal- respond to important turns at least. Moreover, since summary is now 3 minutes, you HAVE to extend rebuttals and frontline and WEIGH in summary. If it is dropped, then it is dropped. Do not try to extend or respond to something you dropped, especially in final focus. I am not going to count it, so it is a waste of time.

You can run theory and K's, but I have no soft spot for it. If it is complicated, explain it well or I am not buying.

Give off-time roadmaps or signpost, where ever and whenever you can. It is much easier for me to follow your speech. If your speech is all over the place, do not expect me to follow it.

I am super hands off when judging, so I won't call for a piece of evidence unless you compel me to call for it.

Please add me to your email chain, or evidence sharing doc using this email: yingying.fang.debate@gmail.com

Warrant your evidence! Don't just give me an empiric without any explanation! I value good analytics over cards, but cards obviously help a lot too.

I don't count prep for calling cards, but I do when reading them.

MAKE IT CLEAR WHEN YOU ARE USING PREP. Since everything is online, don't be sneaky! I can tell if something is off, and I will not be nice if I catch you in the act.

Collapse! Please narrow your speeches into the clashes and core arguments of the round. Drop unnecessary arguments and be strategic! If not, the debate can be become muddled and stronger arguments don't have the time to shine.

Time yourselves! I will give a 5-10 second leeway, but I will stop writing any new points after that period. To signal speeches past-time, you will be able to see my timer in the air, or a hand gesture pointing to my wrist.

I am more lenient towards new and younger debaters; don't worry too much about rules at this stage and just build basics! Always make sure to check feedback!

My facial expressions are very obvious, so if I look confused, then I probably am. Look to me in the round to see if I am following you.

I enjoy a bit of humor in speeches, especially puns, but don't be rude in or out of the round. I will deduct speaks for any derogatory language or discrimination of ANY kind; the world is already very melancholy, so be happy and kind debaters!

Just do your best! :))

i don't flow cross

time yourself

I do debate.

Instead of doing a coin flip, you should turn on your camera and do a backflip. If you land it, I'll let you choose first. Extra 0.4 speaker points if you turn on your camera at all.

If your prepared blocks are literal building blocks, you get an extra 0.2 speaker points. If you enjoy playing golf then I'm taking away 0.1 speaker points.

I allow swearing as long as you're not rude to your opponent or to me.

If you can make me laugh somehow, you're guaranteed at least 26.7

If you're cocky then I'm taking away 0.7 speaker point. Arrogance ain't cool

TLDR: I did PF in high school and did okay at TOC. I'm comfortable with any speed (unless you're an LD-level spreader, then send a speech doc) and argument you want to use (except K's, generally). If you really want, you can still run a K, but no guarantees I will evaluate it exactly how you want it to be evaluated.

More Shtuffs

• Tech > Truth. Run literally anything you want. Run human extinction caused by an alien invasion. It’s more fun.
• Grand cross is mostly pointless, but we still need to do it
• I do not flow crossfires. I don’t consider anything in crossfires. If it’s important, bring it up in a speech
• Anything not frontlined in second rebuttal is considered dropped
• Weigh. Please weigh. I’m begging you.
• I'm comfortable with theory, but not Ks. Just bear that in mind.
• Speed is fine. PF spreading is fine as long as you send a speech doc. I’m not comfortable with LD or Policy level spreading though.
• Everything in FF must be extended in summary. I refuse to extend anything for you. You need to extend the full link chain and impact
• When you and your opponent provide opposite warranting, give me a reason why I should prefer your's.
• I will only call for evidence after the round if you told me to do so explicitly

Hi, I'm Jessica!

I have experience competing in speech and debate tournaments.

Below is a summary of what I am looking for -- If you have any other questions, ask me!

———

GENERAL: Debate and Speaks

- 2nd rebuttal should frontline turns.

- If dropped in the following speech, it's dropped. If not extended, it's not there. -- Summary and Final Focus speeches are important.

- Average in-division is 28 (it really can only go up or down from here). BONUS: If you sing Let It Go (before the round starts) I'll add 0.5.

- I don't like theory args.

- Tech > Truth

- I flow -- but treat me like a flay judge.

———

IMPORTANT

- I've seen good spreading and bad spreading. If you aren't good at spreading, don't spread at all.

- WEIGH!

- I won't be timing the speeches/prep time used, so time yourselves and keep your opponents accountable.

- Add me to the email chain: jessicajzhang05@gmail.com

- Don't be rude to your opponents. If you are, I will doc your points to 26.

I am okay with speed but don't go too fast

I weigh on the arguments that are strong and get cleanly extended

I won't weigh on some shady arguments without good evidence backing them up

Please state your taglines for each contention clearly.

I don't flow crossfire, so make sure you mention all your points/ideas during your speeches

I'll give extra points if u shut down your opponents but not in a bad/rude way
