First of all, I am a new parent judge. Secondly, after I learned the basic of PF debate process, I like it when debaters, spread or not, can articulate their points clearly and persuasively with well organized thoughts. Coherent logic is key to me as well as concrete facts as evidence. My impression of debate is always highlighted in the crossex, so I would like to see your ability to find and attack the flaws in your opponents’ arguments, and respond accordingly in rebuttal but not the verbal attack to your opponents themselves :).

Be polite and respectful to your components and you will be treated reciprocally. Last but not least, have fun!
