I judge for the Orange County Debate League, which uses the modified parliamentary format of the Middle School Public Debate Program. I am the league's President and I co-chair the Board of Directors. I am also a high school student debating VLD in Texas.

Judgment is based on argument, refutation, organization, and presentation. Make your intent clear and tell me when you're moving onto your next contention or refutation so I can flow accordingly. I do not appreciate POIs or heckles that are more disruptive than constructive or argumentative. Focus on attacking the opponent's case, not the person. I've posted the judge guides, rubric, and charter under the resources tab on the OCDL website (ocdl.org) so please look at them!
