Prep ends when you press send. CX starts the second the speech is over. Prep starts the second the CX/rebuttal is over unless you say "speech sent/order is..."

Clipping = L & lowest speaks. Ethics violation claim = round stoppage

I will ignore unread rehighlighting insertions. Only exception is that you already read it for a CX question.

Top Shelf

I am a bad flow. Slow down for analytics, card tags & card marks. Don't care about card body text, I assume you will extend later in an intelligent manner.

I don't vote on conceded arguments unless they are extended and impacted out. Past RFD conversations:

How could you not vote neg, the 2AC didn't answer a single off case?

2NR extended T but no standards, CP but no net benefit, K but no link and the DA but no impact

What did you think about them dropping that antiblackness is ontological?

Nothing. I don't know what that means or how it disproves the K

Doesn't conceding the TVA mean all their framework offense is non-unique?

I don't know why that's true, you didn't explain in your speech

I don't look at ev unless prompted to do so.

Truth and tech. If you make an argument that I 100% know is untrue I won't vote on it. However, I am not omniscient and am a human prone to persuasion. You probably won't convince me I'm in a simulation and that I should endorse global suicide to escape, but you can probably convince me that warming could be good for ag or stopping an ice age.

How To Lose Speaker Points

Not sending the 1AC at round start time or, if I'm late (sorry in advance), as soon as I walk into the room

Going to the bathroom or filling water bottles before your own speech

Whispering or typing when it is not prep time

2AC perm shotgunning

Being rude to the other team

Tech > truth.

That means that I will evaluate fairly according to the flow without inserting any personal opinions or beliefs. You can go for Warming Good, Wipeout, Process CPs, Hidden Theory, the K, and any other "weird" or "bad" argument.

Novices

Flow.

Read less cards but do more explanation.

Signpost.

Do comparative impact calculus.
