Add me to the email chain: riyasdev9@gmail.com

Judging:

- I flow debate proper and don't pay much attention to cross.

- Default framing util, default weighing is highest prob first. weighing applies if you are winning on the link level. tell me where to vote

- I try to be as tech as possible

- Warrant everything: analytical warrant > unwarranted card

- Signpost

- Final focus args must be in summary and properly extended. This is true for offense or defense, uniqueness, warrants, impacts, etc.

- No new evidence in second summary onward

- I don't like theory - run at your own risk

- I'll only call for evidence if it's very important for the decision or the other team tells me to call for it

- Presumption flows neg if there is no offense in the round

- Speed is fine

Speed does not win debates. Clearly articulated, well reasoned arguments win debates.

I will be flowing, so please clearly indicate where you are in the structure of the ongoing debate.

Please keep track of your speaking time. I will set a timer, but I may not have a chance to provide warnings when time is running out.

Provide impacts and weight arguments. These provide the basis for a decision.
