i have been debating Public Forum at Montgomery Academy for three years.

General:

be respectful and civil as it is important to listen in the debate - this is the most important aspect to me

if you don't not present evidence in the first portion of your speech it will be scratched from the flow

tag lines for your contentions are always helpful, and they help keep the debate organized

ORGANIZATION - i hate a very messy and hard to follow debate round

PF:

i would prefer you not to spread

i can deal with speed but not spreading

also, i would prefer no theory unless you feel there is a violation

make sure to clearly state how you would like the round to be weighed as it is to your advantage

no more evidence after the first summary will be taken into consideration

your final focus should be a wrap-up and narrative NOT a rebuttal

No spreading, unless you want to lose me. Ultimately the argument that I find most logical and makes the best points will win.
