I'm a very simple judge. I have experience judging Congress, PF, Policy, LD, and all other IEs. At the beginning of the year, I am lax, understanding, and offer constructive criticism. However, I get more strict as the year goes on. I firmly believe that it is up to you as debaters to impress me. However, this is DEBATE! Have fun! Make yourself at home. I'm a person, not a evil heartless zombie.

On that note, there is one major thing with me as a judge; DO NOT SPEW! I can listen fast, but if it gets to the point I can't understand you, I can't judge you and you WILL be marked last.

I debated LD in high school and took state in 3A, so I know what I'm doing.  Biggest thing: stay organized and let me know exactly where you're going in your case.  While I do prefer traditional debate, I ultimately will vote for the best debater.
