I use to consider myself a stock issues judge....But I'm slowly moving away from it I'm good with T as long as it's done right. I'm ok with K's and CP's, But I wouldn't bank on winning with that alone. Also I prefer closed CX...and I REALY prefer closed constructive and rebuttals. Spreading is fine as long as I can understand the tag lines.

I like to flow as the debate occurs. I like to be able to hear clearly and concisely the arguments presented point by point down the flow, starting with value, criteria, etc. I prefer not hear emotional or personal attacks, just resolution arguments.

I appreciate arguments that are evidence-based, from the least-biased sources possible, and presented in a calm way. Normally-paced speech is appreciated. I have been judging speech and debate events as a fellow teacher for a few years, but I still feel new to this.
