TLDR
Never change your style or performance for me.
Things I find particularly awesome: examples, quotes, and judge instruction
Speed
Slow down on procedurals/analytics
If it’s anything else go as fast as you can while maintaining tag distinction
Decorum
Any harassment for an individual’s immutable characteristics will not be tolerated and will result in an immediate loss
Getting heated in debate is fine, especially during CX, the line between passion and disrespect can sometimes be grey. A good rule of thumb is to be passionate about your arguments not the people you’re debating.
Online Debate
Probably keep your camera on for speeches and prep, but I'm not into policing others
Please try and find a space without noisy backgrounds, if you’re unable to do so that’s fine just let me know so it doesn’t influence your speaks.
Headphones are the best way to go, if you can’t get ahold of a pair that’s fine just make sure to limit echoing if you and your partner are in the same room
Ks
Specific links will be handsomely rewarded, if you default to generics that’s fine but try and have some 2NC spin.
Bonus points for quotes or moments in the round you can pair with link analysis
If you need to give parts of the K to the 1NR please let me know where I should leave space on my flow
Examples. Win. Debates.
Reading K Affs
You need a reason why you are/aren't topical.
I will try to read advocacy evidence if time permits, this is mostly because of intellectual curiosity but a fun side effect is seeing if it lines up with the stated advocacy, the more it lines up the better!
Your authors are rad! Using their language in OVs or extensions is encouraged
Answering K Affs
Fairness isn't an impact, it's an internal link to clash and education.
Policy process knowledge is solid, but better if you contextualize it to the harms of the Aff
Contextualize your offense. For example: if the aff is missing everything but the word USFG you need to be specific about how that precludes certain debates and (most importantly) why that matters.
Super generic cap links make me sad, I will handsomely reward a specific cap link, marxist's hate each other, you can almost always find solid link ev
If the K-aff feels like it might give generic topic ground, read it, you can make T arguments based on 2AC link analysis
Policy stuff
Multi-plank CPs are fine - any plank limit I provide would be arbitrary - I'll leave it up to the 2AC to tell me what to care about
Going for impact turns on the aff is fine
Unlikely to vote for Condo interps that say one conditional advocacy is bad, but if it's dropped it's dropped.
Tech vs Truth
I lean more towards tech, unless a cursory google search can disprove your claim I’ll assume you’re not lying to me.
Final note
If there's anything here that you think is missing or unclear please let me know, I plan to consistently update my paradigm : D
