Hi my name is Talia my pronouns are they/she and I did PF and IX in high school for 3 years. I went to nationals for IX all 3 of those years. (I'm really proud of that so this is just me bragging lol) But I know a little bit about everything.

ANYWAYS my #1 thing is respect. Don't be rude to your opponents, use proper pronouns. You're attacking their case not your opponents.

I'm going to flow your case. If you end up going over by a few seconds it is okay however if it is over 10 seconds I will put my pen down and stop flowing.

I can keep up with some speed but don't spread please if I can't keep up I won't be able to write down your case, the best way to keep that from happening is sharing your case with me.

If you have questions about anything please ask!

:)

My preferences for judging a debate are: 1) That debaters not speed spread, if I can't follow your arguments it's hard to persuade me. It also makes for a better Public Forum debate if everyone can follow the main arguments. 2) That crossfire be cordial, being rude and/or cutting a speaker off will lose you points. 3) I prefer that your evidence support your argument, not that it tangentially might apply. I also an extensive background in speech and debate as a high school student and as a high school Speech & Debate Coach and a speech Judge.
