Hello! :)

I'm a ipda/parli debater in uni. I primarily do limited prep events (in speech and debate) and coach policy.

I vote based on how well you carry your arguments, if you answer/drop/kick arguments. Did you answer your opponents? Does your arguments outweigh or have stronger points? Do you argue why your side is better? Did you clash with your opponents and show your side to be a better choice for me to vote on? (BTW Creating a narrative/story with your evidence/cards in your rebuttals is also nice cause it strengthens your side. It's more visual and emotional hence more persuasive.)

--------------------------

Preferences:

- Have a road map and sign post -

clear road maps and sign posting = better understanding of what arguments are being used = clear flow = higher chance of your win

_______________________________________________________________

- Can spread, but emphasis your main points (slow down, deliberately tell me, repeat it a few time, etc.) -

by emphasizing a certain point, you give it value and in turn I give it value and know what you want to argue for. makes your point clear and understandable so I can easily write it down in my flow

_______________________________________________________________

- Tag teaming is fine -

make sure you speak eventually since cx is a part of your speaker points. I can't evaluate speaker points properly if I don't hear you in both speeches and cx. (example: if you mumble a speech and don't really participate in cx, it generates a lower score then mumbling a speech and participate in cx)

_______________________________________________________________

- Convince me as a judge, talk to judge, how do I vote, etc. -

go ahead and use logos, pathos, or ethos to try to convince me. talk to me as a judge on a one on one level, and tell me how to flow, explain important concepts, how to judge the debate, reason to prefer, or if you caught your opponents dropping something, being contradictory, or even rude. ultimately your judge has the final say on if you win or lose, so appeal to your judge

_______________________________________________________________

- Speak loud, audibly, and clearly -

this is such an important preference for me. sometimes i can't hear y'all. its either y'all are too far away, y'all speak to quiet, or there is some chatter/ac/car/general noise that is much louder than yall. i also can be hard of hearing at times and its really important that i can hear your arguments. i will also let you know in round if you need to speak up or move to a better spot

_______________________________________________________________

try not to say "is anyone not ready?" it's a very awkward phrase with bit of a negative connotation, but don't worry if you do say it, it won't really affect your speech score. it's just very weird to hear it and "is everyone ready?" is quicker

---------------------------------

Hi, if you're down here, snack or candy bribes won't give you the W, but it doesn't hurt to try lol

See you in a round! (:

Hello! I'm new to judging online, so please be patient with me as I will be with you. Below are some things that I look for when judging and some of MY personal preferences:

- I like to see arguments extended.

- I like to see a person who knows what they are talking about (or at least sells me on the idea that they do know that they are talking about).

- Make sure that when you are debating you explain your arguments and try to make logical sense.

- I'm all for competitiveness, but I will NOT tolerate nastiness in the debate space.

- I love analytical arguments; reading just cards is boring.

- Judge Instruction (i.e. framework, role of ballet), remember that your job is to convince ME why you should win.

REMINDERS:

- I will keep track of time, but you are also free to do so as well

- tagteaming is fine (during cross-ex, not during partner's speech)

- Only spread if you enunciate and are clear (but please don't go SUPER fast, I can only flow what I catch)

- Quality > Quantity

- don't forget about the importance of analytical arguments

Helloooo! (: I started debating my freshmen year of highschool, in all three divisions. I have judged a couple of times before and enjoy it.

I will not tolerate any sort of disrespectful comments about race, sex/gender, or disabilities. Any comment of the sort will automatically dock your speaker points. Maintain a safe and comforting environment!

I do not mind spreading as long as it is understandable. Just read at your own pace and have fun! I do not mind tag teaming during cross-x and love clash. Again maintain respectful boundaries.
