Hey guys, I'm Alayna, I'm a Senior at Cabot High School. I am very professional and I know what I am doing when it comes to debating and I will do my best when I judge.

RESPECT: If I see that you are disrespecting your opponent, it will be an automatic L. This is one of the key components of debate. I DO NOT TOLERATE disrespect.

ALL STYLES OF DEBATE----Time keeping: MAKE SURE YOU USE ALL OF YOUR TIME!!!! Using all of your time is very important, when the timer goes off STOP it's ok, just make sure that you get majority of the things in that you want to get in.

Spreading: I'm okay with it.

Framework- This is important so use it, depending on the style of debate. If you want me to vote on your side because of your framework explain to me why.

Definitions- These are very important in all styles of debate so use them.

Line by line: This is very important in every style of debate, without this it is harder for the judge to know what you are rebutting against. This makes it easier for me and for you as well.

Road Maps: This is very important in every rebuttal speech, giving this will help me and your opponent writing in the flow.

I will not listen during cross ex, this is strictly for the debaters. This is where you clarify any questions that you may have and this is also to make trap questions. This part in this debate will be judged. THIS IS STRICTLY FOR YOU GUYS!!!

IPDA:

This is practically the same as LD but the topic varies obviously.

Use all of your time also keep your time!

Use all of your prep time before the round because it is the most important part of your case.

Spreading is fine if you know how to do it correctly, If you don't know how to then don't spread.

If you have any questions about anything this is my email:

1. RULES: My main paradigm is to just follow the rules of the debate. If an opponet sets a Weighing mechanism or framework, don't ignore it. Try not to drop contentions and and debate with effort.

2.STRUCTURE: If you lack structure, don't clarify and don't link your evidence to the resolution then don't expect me to vote for you. I WANT TO KNOW WHY. I will not do the work for you and link the arguments to the resolution.

3. COURTESY: Finally; don't get hot headed. If something doesn't go your way it isn't appropriate to get louder and get more agressive. Keep it civil or get less speakers.

I am primarily a Big Question debater so I will not be mad about,(and might even encourage) philosophy. Though, If you don't give any evidence then that is an automatic loss unless the opponet is doing it too. And remember to link that evidence as I said in my 2nd paradigm.

Good luck on your rounds and bye B]

I am a college debater who competed on the Arkansas circuit in high school, I have competed in BQ, LD, IPDA, CX, WSD, and parli . I know mainly anything you can throw at me, just be clear with your arguments.

If you want me to flow everything you say, don’t spread. Be very clear with line by line and the flow. When addressing an opponent's case be very specific on which it is ex. " contention 2 sub point b"

Have fun:)

Hi!

I am a freshman at the University of Arkansas. I have experience in multiple formats, Congress, Parliamentary, and IPDA I have the most experience competing in. I also have done in the past LD, PF, WSD. So I'm fairly experienced in the world of debate. I have 4 years of debate under my belt.

I look for good logical flow as well as who persuades me more. Signpost for me. Make sure I can flow it. Keep it neat!

Please do not spread. If I can't understand you I'm not going to flow.

Don't be rude to your opponents. Just don't.

Please keep a good round going and try your hardest to give a good easy to understand flow.

For Congress:

Know what you're doing.

Elect a PO that will run a smooth session, as a career PO I will rank you well if you do a good job. I know it takes a lot of work.

Try to avoid podiums. Avoid having your laptop. I know it's not always possible. But do your best to avoid them.

Clash. Don't just give me your 3 point constructive. I want to see good solid clash. You will be upvoted for good clash!

Have fun!

I judged many different forensic events over the last two years, both online and in person. My favorites are POI and storytelling. I appreciate a well written and performed piece, particularly light-hearted ones. My least favorite event is Extempt - if I could follow politics and current events I'd be a debate judge! I will still try my best. I always find something positive to say and I try to offer constructive suggestions. I want to watch you learn and get better. I think debate and forensics can offer skills well beyond school. I am looking forward to another year.

PF: I vote mainly on the voters you give me, if you dont have clear voters then I will vote on what i think is important and it may not be what you think it is (if one side has voters and the other side doesn't then im going to lean more toward the side with voters). Go down the flow it makes it much easier for me to flow all of your agruments in the right spot. Don't spread if I dont know exactly what you said I wont write it down.

LD: Make your Framework very clear so I understand exactly what it is but dont make it a framework debate. Dont spread if I dont know what you said I wont write it down. I vote mainly on voters, if you dont have clear voters then I will vote on what i think is important and it may not be what you think it is (if one side has voters and the other side doesn't then im going to lean more toward the side with voters).

Congress: I've done alot of PF so I like reliable sources. Be ready to speak on either side of the bill. Try and fill all of your time in your speach but if you have nothing new to add then just leave it at what you have and ask questions. questions are important to me it shows you are still engaged in the round and will give you extra points.

IPDA: jsut try to fill all your time have a good ofense and defense, and be sure to speak well. good luck
