-Things i like-

being professional, off time road maps, respecting everyone during the round, have your cameras on if you can and feel comfortable doing so (i will not count off points if you don't put your camera on).

-Things i dislike-

dont be rude. stay on topic :)

-While Debating-

theory- i recommend not running theory unless you can explain it well.

k's- make sure they are relevant and you know the argument well.

counter plans-- i love counter plans when explained thoroughly and effectively.

disadvantage's- i love disadvantage's when they are (again) relevant, explained well and creative.

cross x- i absolutely hate open cross x, just don't do it. i typically vote off whats being said and asked during cross ex.

rebuttals- i typically vote off whats being said during rebuttals as well, don't bring up new info.

I am the Assistant Coach in Debate at Salina South High School.

I value a variety of things during my debate judging: Some of these things involve solvency and a resolution of issues being discussed. I also value great cross examination questions and summarizing the topics in order to prove the points of the arguments as data is being shared.
