I have been the coach of Port of Los Angeles's team since 2018, and have judged approximately 50 rounds.

Preferences: Students should stand when they speak

Both partners should participate equally, including in cross examination

Clarify your impacts and provide a solid link chain

I am open to any kind of aff, but make sure you explain well why your plan or K-aff is better than the squo/necessary

I'm not really a technical judge. I will weigh multiple arguments, including framework and counterframework, but in the end I base my decision primarily on how convinced I was that your aff needs to happen to solve a problem, or that the aff is not useful or net harmful. Fairness questions will not often be the reason for my decision.

Ks and K-affs should be explained in simple language. I'm not that smart.

Don't be evil.
