I am a first year volunteer judge and I did not participate in debate during high school or college. I prefer a debate that includes a persuasive style of speaking and debating. I will pick a winner based on who best communicates the most logical arguments. Therefore, your speech must be clear and understandable, and your argument should be based on logic and factual evidence. The use of spreading or K-cases are not encouraged.

Please send cases to Christina.brockman@jefferson.kyschools.us

I do not like spreading, especially online as I have a hard time understanding what you are saying if you spread. Also, please try not to mumble as I am somewhat hard of hearing.

I do not like Ks. I do not know how to judge a competitor using one or any kind of progressive debate in LD.

I'll keep this concise. I competed for four years on a national level in speech and debate, focusing on congress, pf, extemp and impromptu speaking. I am currently competing on the college circuit in parliamentary debate. In debates, I want to see strong logically based arguments. You can throw all the sources you want at me, if there isn't any interpretation or impacts I'm probably not gonna care. It's your job to convince me why I should consider that source and why I should consider that argument. Other than that, I want to see strong clash and impact calculus. I can handle speed, but if I don't catch something because you go too fast it isn't my problem.
