Debated for Acton-Boxborough

I'm a pretty simple judge and like simple rounds, so don't try to overcomplicate things.

Fan of frontlining in second rebuttal, good comparative weighing with every argument/response as early as possible, and smart collapses.

I can handle speed to a certain extent, but pls send speech docs if you know you'll be going fast. It benefits everyone.

Have debated prog stuff a bit but lowk don't understand much of the structure or lit so if you're gonna read it, consider me lay. If there's legit abuse in the round, I'm honestly fine w yall j calling it out and reading some paragraph theory, it ain't that big a deal to me. With that said, don't be a jerk (sexist/racist/-ist gonna be automatic L20).

Overall, keep it concise. Spit some bars and be confident and y'all will be chilling.

feel free to ask me any questions in round, have fun

General:

- I debated PF for 4 years at Acton-Boxborough. Tech > truth

- if you're speaking >= 250 words/min, send speech doc; run whatever arguments you want.

- I'll time speeches only and give a 10 second grace period - anything past that, I won't flow. You should time your own and your opponent's prep time to keep each other accountable.

- Any new offense should be answered in the next speech, otherwise it is considered dropped

- collapse to make the round easy and simple for all of us

- will disclose decision (and speaks, if you want)

FOR EMORY (LD):

FRAMEWORK PLEASE tell me which impact to prioritize AND WHY thats the case

I debated a couple military presence topics in PF (including one about West Asia), so I have some general understanding of the topic (but nothing super recent OR specific to North Africa).

If you really want to run progressive arguments, do so at your own risk. I debated a few theory rounds in PF, but I'm sure you know that LD and PF progressive arguments are very different (honestly really enjoyed debating theory so if you're willing to take the risk that would make it a fun round for me). Wouldn't recommend running any Ks/tricks (i will probably make the wrong decision).

Be civil, but don't let the other team bully you (especially in crossfire).

EXTEND EVERYTHING YOU THINK IS RELEVANT: (Ex. if you give a response in rebuttal, don't talk about it in summary, and bring it up again in final focus, I won't evaluate it. Extend in every single speech.)

DO NOT BRING UP NEW RESPONSES/INFORMATION IN FINAL FOCUS!!! This was very annoying for me when I was debating. It's really unfair to the other team to bring up new stuff in FF, especially in 2nd FF, since they can't respond to it without wasting their speech time. Any new stuff brought up in FF will not be evaluated and will result in a decrease in your speaker points.

WEIGHING IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Weighing is the most important thing you can do for your case. Teams who give the best weighing and extend it throughout the round are much more likely to get my vote than teams that just spit out a bunch of responses/arguments with no implications or comparisons.

Lastly, make sure you have fun while debating. That's what makes it worth the time and effort you put into it.
