Qualification: I've competed in Speech and Debate for approximately six to seven years and have coaching and judging experience before and after my High School years. Most of my debating experience comes from Public Forum but I do have some involvement in World Style, CNDF, and British Parliamentary.

Judging Paradigm:

1. Speed is not a huge issue for me, but be considerate to everyone in the round so that contention taglines and pieces of evidence are clearly presented. (Be extra clear with presenting your contention taglines and refutation titles)

2. I will be flowing throughout the whole round, but refutations and reconstructions should be extended to the summary and final focus speeches. If contentions or refutations are dropped somewhere during the round, make sure to mention this in one of the speeches.

3. Summary and Final Focus speeches are the most important speeches in relation to making my decision at the end of the round. This also means that the team that can weigh-out arguments and present voter issues most effectively will most likely win the round.

4. Only have a framework if you are going to use it throughout the round.

5. Don't be rude.

i don't flow cross

time yourself

Honestly just don't make me want to die during the round. You don't understand how many rounds I sit through wanting to die.

What I look for when making my decisions:

1. I look off of my flow. I will not be flowing cross fires but I will be listening so try not to make any new arguments in crossfire. Anything that isn't extended through summary and final focus I will not evaluate it that much.

- Anything you say after your grace period I won't be flowing down.

2. If it is a turn against your arguments, make sure you reconstruct against it. If you don't, I will consider that as a valid reason to vote for your opponent's side.

3. Weighing & comparison. Make sure you weigh and compare your arguments. At the end of the day, it is really hard to make the decision if you don't really compare and explain why your side is better in terms of evidence, impact, and etc. Because I wouldn't really know which side I NEED to vote for, so convince me. Tell me exactly why I should vote for your side instead of your oppnent's.

In terms of speaker points:

• Try your best to be confident when you are speaking (if you sound confident I would feel confident voting for you)
• Be respectful
