I do not mind off-time road maps. A clear outline of each point and subpoint during construction is imperative. Linking each point to your value and criterion helps flow the case for judges and opponents. Definitions can make or break a case. Be confident in your definitions. Speak rapidly ONLY if you can also speak clearly. I like to see passion.

You can call me Mrs. G.
I am a high school debate coach.
I base my judging on:
a. Argumentation: Are you attacking ALL of your opponents points and rebutting ALL of your points?
b. Delivery: Are your points and rebuttals clear? Are you professional and polite?
I prefer a conversational speed rather than a very quick delivery. I like to take notes and understand the speakers.
I also prefer debaters to remember that you are debating the TOPIC.
a. You are attacking a the case and not your opponent(s). Try not to get personal.
b. You are defending your case, and not yourself- attacks are part of the game, try not to take it personally.
Please remember that I am only judging OSSAA debate and not NSDA. I do not need rules explained to me.
Relax! Smile! I want you to do well and have fun. I love speech and debate. I love that coaching allows me to meet students from all over the state. Don't be afraid to talk to me if you see me outside of rounds, but let's keep it professional in the debate room.

BASIC NEED TO KNOW:
Spreading: Need taglines to be clear. If I can't flow it, I can't use it to vote for you
Argumentation | Rhetoric: I look for debate speaking. I love to see debate falsies being used to disprove arguments.
Topicality: I will vote on it if I feel the NEG proved it to be abusive.
K Arguments- I will vote on "K" if you break it down to an understandable level. The LINK must be clear and offset the impacts of the AFF.
Inherency: If the NEG proves it is already being done, I will vote on it
Things I DON'T like
- Framework: I am not a fan of heavy framework arguments. Your impact should provide the voters for me to make my decision.
- Abuse Arguments: I have heard a lot of these arguments this season. I can determine what is and is not abuse for myself throughout a round. If your entire case is based on abuse, it appears that your case is not solid on its own merit.
- Ignoring your opponent's argument just to extend your own arguments and hope that their argument goes away.
Things I DO like
- Confidence: Don't give me a reason to vote you down. If you show me that you lost an argument with your non-verbals, then you will lose the argument.
- CLASH: I love it! Especially in cross-examination.
- TAGLINES: Once again, if I can't flow it then I will not vote for it.
- Sportsmanship: Don't make personal attacks, be professional and HAVE FUN.
