Hey, I'm Jackson Jackson (he/him)

This is my 3rd year doing policy debate. I have made it to state every year and have gone to Nationals in PFD my freshman year and World Schools debate at NSDA my freshman and sophomore year. I've judged tournaments at my school before. I like to think that I know what I'm doing in the realm of debate.

Policy:

First things first, I will be timing everything. Please let me know when you are taking prep, because if there's anything I don't like, it's stealing prep. If it's an online tournament, I will especially require integrity and you not being sneaky and stealing prep.

I'm not necessarily a flow judge, but I will be flowing and will take that into my decision.

Clarity of speaking is super important to me. If I can't understand what you're saying, then I'm probably not going to take into account what you're saying (which should be pretty obvious).

I am open to pretty much any argument as long as you can outline to me how it pertains to the debate (ie. link chain, violation, relation to resolution). If you drop all of your arguments besides one, explain why I should still vote for you. This also relates to role of the judge. If you make it clear why I should vote for you and not the other team, it exponentially increases the likeliness for you to win.

Overall, don't be a bad human. If you are rude to the other team and it affects the round, it will be applied into my decision in the debate. Have fun and no stress!
