Hi I'm Jordan and really the only thing I'm looking for is an interesting topic delivered well.

I competed in Public Forum and Radio in high school and have been coaching for 3 years, judging for 5.

Above all, please be respectful. This includes your opponents, teammate and judges.

I expect competitors to time themselves in round (IE & Debate). I can keep up with a fast paced speech but make sure that you can maintain clarity. I will flow debate rounds, so I value organization and will vote on the flow. Short taglines are very helpful for keeping track of contentions.

I did mostly parli and lower level policy in high school, now I'm doing LD in college

I don't care about the rules and if you win an argument ill vote for it but keep some things in mind:

Although i have almost two years of experience in policy, I never went to debate camp and learned most of what I know through experience. This means although I understand how Ks work, I probably don't know your specific kritik. Running Ks is fine, but probably don't run Baudrillard unless you can explain it clearly.

Talk as fast as the slowest person in the room. If you tend to talk fast, just email me the doc and I'll be fine.

Other than that:

Theory is fine, I default to competing interps unless you tell me to do something else

Everyone gets 30 speaks, if the tournament has speaker points

I did four years of debate in high school, mostly Parli but with a fair amount of LD and a bit of Policy. I also did two years of college LD. I can handle pretty high speed as long as I have access to the document. PLEASE slow down at least a bit for theory unless you’re sharing the text of your shell. Here's my email if you prefer email chains: kellenrice@lclark.edu

I'm open to any kind of argument. If you're doing something technical that your opponent doesn't understand, try your best to make the argument accessible. Also, don't assume I know your K lit - always assume you need to do a basic explanation of your argument. I’ll accept anything, but naturally you still have to win the argument.

Debate is a game, and like most games it’s nonsense. I really appreciate nonsense - please have fun with your arguments! That being said, if you do nonsense, please try to keep it from becoming messy.

Be respectful to each other

If I see bigoted arguments or unethical behavior, I will most likely drop you.

Feel free to ask me any questions before the round starts, seeing as this isn't very detailed.

I've done all types of debates. I like all arguments.

My priorities for judging any debate are

1) the use of factual evidence that shows understanding of the topic.

2) clear and organized arguments.

3) each team's ability to support their value, weighing mechanism, or other framework throughout the entire debate.

4) professionalism and appropriateness.
