put me on the chain: sofia_funk@brown.edu

if you're a novice don't stress

generally tech > truth, but the more outlandish your claim, the less work needs to be done on the flow by your opponent to win it

i don't care what you argue if you explain it clearly and aren't discriminatory

debate should be accessible

spreading is ok as long as you are clear and share your doc but not preferred (spreading =/= speaking quickly which is always fine)

ask me any specific questions before the round

policy: don't send me a disorganized doc

1. I am a parent/judge. I am ok with any argument as long as there is sufficient evidence for the case. Arguments should be concise and straight to the point.

2. Please speak clearly and not too fast. Clarity is the key and I want to be able to properly understand your point to effectively judge you.

3. Maintain a clear speech order (do not jump around from contentions to refutations, etc.)

4. During CrossX please fully answer all of the questions asked. I think an effective CrossX is very important.

5. Please be respectful towards others and have fun!

hello!!! I am Michelle. :))

I was a debater, but now, I am not. Yippee!!

Please run whatever you want, and I will try to follow along. :DD Please do not be mean. :(( I also have not done anything related to debate in a long time (1 year), so please do not spread or use too much debate jargon or I will get confused and might miss some of your arguments. :(( Sorry!!

I really like K affs!!
