I am a parent judge. If I am judging your round, here are some things to keep in mind:

• Talk at a reasonable pace. I do not like spreading.
• Clarity is really important for speaker points
• Make sure your contentions are well backed up with evidence to convince me that your side is what I should vote for
• Be respectful to your opponent

Overall, have fun and enjoy the debate

I have judged PF rounds a few times, and am comfortable with the format. With that being said, I am a lay parent judge and do not have any prior knowledge to the topics (no theory or kritiks, please!)

Please WEIGH, and do it properly. I have come across kids who have just yelled, "we win on magnitude, scope probability, etc." without properly explaining and comparing their impact/argument to the opponents'.

Have your impacts flushed out, and back it up with factual, statistical evidence.

I want your framework to be upheld throughout the debate, and have the contentions correspond to it.

Be respectful during cross, or else I will knock down speaks.

Most importantly, have fun!
