Delvery: A. Speed I have a fine motor skill issue that prevents me from flowing super fast. I will listen to some speed, but not full spreading. I can handle more speed than lay, but less than avg flow judge. If I call speed 3x and you don't slow down you lose the round. B. Speaker Points. Rounds should be fun. If you make me laugh, I'll give you 30 spks no questions asked. I like puns, messed up jokes, Childish Gambino, Hamiltion and silly analogies. You won't win just for being funny, but you'll up your spks for sure.
Types of Arguments I will and won't listen to. Debate is a game so run what you want, but here is a tip sheet if you have me.
Counterplans: Make sure they aren't permable, that they are non topical and that they don't bite into your own disadvantage
Conditionality: Kick whatever you want as long as their isn't offense on them. I'll listen to condo theory
Kritik's: Will listen to them if the structure is very organized. I want to be told the role of the ballot, the framework, the link,, the impact, the alt etc... I've only voted on one k ever.
Topicality: If you're being abused by the aff run it. I'm also okay with seeing it as time strategy. Show the articulated abuse.
Reverse Voting Issues: They usually arent very persuasive but I will buy them more than the average flow judge.
Spreading Theory: If you're calling speed, clear and the team refuses to slow down I will probably vote for this if you do an okay job running it.
No New Points in Rebuttal Theory: I'm a fan, but you have to earn it.
Trichotomy: Bleh, you better make some really compelling arguments.
Perm: Show why both plan and cp can be done. I won't allow everything to be permed just because it's a "test of competition"
No Neg Fiat: I'll laugh, but hey, if you can do it, good for you.
Overall: Be organized, use subpoints, number your responses, explain your impacts. I will listen to complex arguments but please explain them clearly. Hard for me to vote for you if you don't give me voters. HAVE FUN.
