This is my first time judging a Forensics and Debate competition so please be patient with me.

I value an organized and clear speaking style. Please do not recite your speech. Articulation and delivery skills are important to me.

Have a clear and consistent argument backed with evidence rather than just your opinion. I do not have a preference in argument style and will vote towards the argument that responds to the resolution most clearly with the best evidence to support it. Your resolution should reflect your case argument as a whole. Be professional.

Avoid arguments that are homophobic, sexist, racist, or offensive in any way. Be respectful to your opponent. Use professional language at all times.

All the best! This is your time to shine!

This my first opportunity to judge a tournament,

Avoid arguments that are homophobic, sexist, racist, or offensive in any way. Be respectful to your opponent and judge. Use professional language at all times.

This is your debate so have fun with it! Best of luck to you!!
