PF: I did pf for 3 years in hs, and I've been judging for a while. I'm pretty much a flow judge so if you want me to weigh something, say it. I'm ok with speed as long as you aren't spreading and just keep in mind that if I don't catch what you say, then obviously I can't weigh it so you might want to slow down if you want to make a point. As far as reading cards and such, if you want to bring back evidence later on in the debate just say the author, year, and tagline so it's easy for everyone to flow.
Other than that, I'm pretty laid back so if you want to run CP or disads I'm kinda ok with that just make sure that it makes sense and isn't intentionally confusing.
LD: I did one year of ld, so I'm not the most well versed in it. If you are spreading I want to be on the email chain/ however you are sharing files so I can follow along. Run whatever you want, but just keep in mind that I'm not well versed in things like theory and kritiks, so you might have to do more work to convince me of those. If that sounds like something you want to do, go for it. I'm still a flow judge, so I won't vote off things that aren't said.
General: I don't really want to have to do any work for either team in terms of extrapolating information/arguments, I would prefer if you extended things clearly across the flow verbally. I will extend things and do work for you if there is really just nothing else to vote on.
In terms of magnitude, timeframe, etc. I weigh each one evenly pretty much so its up to the debater to convince me why I should prefer magnitude over timeframe etc.
I do like grouping arguments especially in the summary speech of pf for example, but you shouldn't just drop all evidence and arguments for the sake of a "cool grouping" or something.
You can ask any other questions to me if you are confused/want to know more.
