hi! i'm nikki, and i am a varsity pf debater at the nueva school going into her fourth year of debate at nueva and her fifth year of debate overall. add me to your email chain nikagra@nuevaschool.org

i will be a flow judge, I can flow pretty much everything but if you start spreading I won't pick everything up, and I don't accept speech docs for crazy fast speeches. if I miss it then I miss it and it's not on the flow.

pf:

- defense is sticky but only if you extend the tag and argument

- dropped arguments have 100% probability if you extend and weigh

- collapse, weigh, and frontline in your summary. this includes extending your full argument (link-warrant-impact) in summary and final focus to give me something to weigh on

- time yourself, I don't pay attention to that

- weigh weigh weigh!

- i won't flow cross but i will listen to it.

- i won't look at evidence unless you ask me to

- I will drop teams for homophobic/sexist/ableist/racist/etc remarks and tank your speaks. no exceptions.

i will disclose my decision. don't be mean and have fun!

other types:

I have minimal experience with parli and no experience with LD or speech types (other than impromptu) but I hold most of the things in the pf paradigm true here. if I can't here it I won't flow it, don't spread, weigh, and be clear.

I am a former varsity PF debater and Impromptu speaker. I also won the Big Questions Tournament 2022 (as my teammates requested I put in here). I use she/her pronouns. I don't really care about formality (clothes, shoes, setup, whatever, although don't be ridiculous for both our sakes). If you have tech issues, let me know and we can figure it out. Call me dude if you want to, I'll find it fun.

I won't dispute unless you tell me to, be nice, don't make me intervene. I'm fairly flow but I'm also literally a high schooler. Speed is fine, but please organize and signpost well. Have good evidence. Don't be rude. Tech over truth. Theory/K is fine, but needs to be explained thoroughly. Make puns.

I don't have all that much experience in anything other than PF but I have a pretty good gist of the other events.

Classes I would not take: AP Chem, Chem H, AP Calc BC, Trig H

Hi! I'm in my sixth year of public forum debate as part of the MVLA speech and debate team.

I'd consider myself mostly flow/flay and generally tech > truth (with the exception of really abusive arguments). This means I will flow the round (sans cross) and will evaluate any argument that has a clear (and carded) link chain and impact. All your evidence should be carded, but I will evaluate good analytics above bad cards.

Please time yourself and I will keep time as well. Make sure to WEIGH! Make the round as easy for me to evaluate as possible by weighing. If one team weighs, I usually default to their weighing. If neither team weighs, I will have to evaluate the round based on my own understanding of the world and no one wants that.

Any discrimination (racism/sexism etc.) or abusive language (ad hominems etc.) will lead to the lowest speaks I can possibly give you and I will default to the other team. Please introduce yourself with your name, school, and pronouns before your round.

Ask me any questions you have about my paradigm before round!

*audrey tsai paradigm !

nymahdavi@gmail.com for questions and chain

if you debate the entire round without technology, you'll get auto 30s

For everything else please refer to Yuvraj Walia’s paradigm.

I'm a former varsity PF debater from Los Altos High School, CA and current college student.

Read the entire paradigm, please! This is also a paradigm aimed towards PF, so if this isn't a PF round, ask me for a verbal paradigm beforehand.

Please add me to the email chain or evidence sharing document.

Cameras: Unless you are having a tech issue, I expect cameras to be on.

Tech Issues: If either you or I have tech issues and I miss part of your speech, we will do our best to determine how much extra time you would need and I will allow you to repeat that section of the speech.

- Please don't ask me when you want to take prep. Tell me. Claim your prep with confidence because it's YOURS.

- Absolutely NO SPREADING at any point!! Your speaks will sink like the Lusitania (If you do not know what the Lusitania is, shame on you). I need to understand what you're saying. I am also a sleep-deprived student who does not have the mental capacity to be flowing a round where you are spreading (speed-reading). Also, Zoom audio is not conducive to spreading, so don't shoot yourself in the foot.

- You must SIGNPOST! It is totally okay for you to use off-time roadmaps and I encourage them. Please also signpost during your rebuttals and summaries especially to make sure I know what to flow and where to extend my flow. Also, number your responses!

- Please debate a PF Round: No kritiks, theory, counter-plans, etc. It's Public Forum, not Policy or Parli.

- Crossfire: I will listen to Crossfire and it will count towards speaker points. Please do not demean your opponents in any way, shape, or form. Just answer questions concisely and to the point. Please also make sure that you give your opponent equal time during crossfire. Be kind and fair! Allowing others to have questions, respecting their time, etc. will exponentially help your speaks. Also, anything you say in cross that you want me to be flowing as part of the debate must be in your speeches.

- Weighing: Super important! Make sure to compare both worlds in summaries and spend time weighing in final focus as well. This is a main portion of how I will decide the round, so if you do not weigh, it will be an automatic win for the other team. Mention voter issues! Why should I give the ballot to you?

- Framework/Standard: For PF, I will automatically assume that its net benefits. For all other debate events, you tell me.

- Kindness: You need to be kind to your opponents. Do not be condescending towards your opponents or call their arguments silly, etc. I will call you out and tank your speaker points. Debate requires a certain decorum and if you cannot follow that, debate is not for you.

- Jargon: Please explain technical terms in your speeches to both me and your opponents, to a reasonable extent. I have not prepped this topic, and am NOT knowledgeable on this topic, so please do define obscure jargon/names of programs in your speeches, otherwise the point will be lost on the flow and I will not extend it.

- Arguments: You can run basically anything as long as it is not offensive in any way (racist, sexist, etc.). Please warrant your evidence! Although it is technically okay to bring up new evidence/arguments in second summary, just don't. Debate etiquette exists and it's really crappy to bring up new arguments in second summary. It could affect your speaks in a negative way.

- Speaking Point Method: My standard speaking points will start at 27.5.

Speaks will go down if you use a lot of filler words (like, um, uh, etc.) or go over/under time (It is fine if you are within 10 seconds of the time limit on either side).

Speaks will go down more if you go over time than if you are under the time limit (especially with 3 minute summaries). Your speaks will go up if you show exemplary sportsmanship and are nice but firm during crossfire/cross-ex.

If you get 30 speaks from me, it means I believe you have descended as a deity (of whatever belief you may subscribe to) and speak like an angel.

Please ask me if you do not understand something in my paradigm or need some more clarification! Good luck!

If you need clarification regarding your RFD, please email me. If you are argumentative with me about my round decision and RFD, I will ignore you. So don't argue.
