Hello!

I Hope you are ready to learn more about the world of Policy Debate during this novice tournament. I did a lot of policy last year, and I am pretty well versed in the world of policy debate.

Since this is a novice tournament, please do not spread. One thing that is very important to me is to be respectful to the opposing side. I will not tolerate any yelling, intimidation, or other unwelcoming behavior.

Otherwise, I am a blank slate. Your job is to convince me that your side has the best impacts and I will leave it up to you to decide how you want to do that.

Have a wonderful time at the tournament!

My name is obiora Goodluck, am a judge and have judged in many debates,

My rounds will always be a respectful and inclusive space for everyone. Disrespectful or offensive language and misgendering will not be tolerated in my rounds. I didn't think I'd have to remind people of this but I would like people to check for racial bias in their cases and language. You can affirm or negate any resolution without biased arguments.

In debate events, I am looking for a few things: confidence in both your argument and your delivery, quality arguments, and rebuttals, and a fair and respectful debate.

Clarity is of utmost importance to me. you must speak clearly and at a normal pace. It is an accessibility concern for me, as well as other debaters and judges with disabilities. Your presentation of your speeches is important to me as well as the content. Deliver your speeches with confidence and clarity.

I'm not very particular about how you debate, all I ask is that it is logical and easy to follow. With that being said I am ok with spreading because it focuses on systems under which society operates.

I'm okay with debate theory, make sure it's educational and fair.

I'm okay with spreading, I understand that you have to talk fast and at the same time sustain your arguments.

Just be clear and loud
