Hey! I am a previous Public Forum debater, however I know all other debate types as well because I am a debater in college (S'go Bucs!). The biggest thing for me is: give me the evidence! Show me how and why it matters. If you just tell me a fact, but are not able to explain it, then it is pointless.
I can handle speed so long as you are able to be understood. Do not speak fast just to get information out. If I cannot write it on my flow, I will not be able to use it as anything within the round. I will do my best to only judge what is said in round, so make sure if you want it to matter, DIRECTLY say it. Please, please, please signpost. It helps ensure I am writing your arguments thoroughly because I won't be wasting time trying to find what you are attacking/defending.
VOTERS or COMPARE WORLDS! If you cannot tell me why you should be winning I can't either.
Do not be rude in the round. You will lose speaker points. Other than that, you should get decent speaker points. Overall, just be respectful and knowledgable. Best of luck :)
