tldr: I'm a speech judge by experience, but I can judge debate (pretty flay imo). Don't be a terrible person, have fun :)

About Me

I'm a sophomore at WashU. Spent four years at Unionville High School as an extemper, but I am familiar with all speech events and have some familiarity with PF and trad LD (sorry prog LD and Policy). I'm an econ and finance student, so my background in econ and such is pretty strong.

Debate

I'm almost universally tech>truth and tabula rasa. If I leave notes in the ballot about arguments (which I likely will), please know that those notes did not influence my decision, they are simply thoughts/suggestions I feel the need to point out. Please don't spread unless you want me to hear like a quarter of your words. Thanks <3. PLEASE if you want me to consider something that you say in cross as a voter, bring it up in a speech!!!!!! ALSO, if you don't weigh your impacts for me, I'll just ignore them, so please weigh the stuff you want me to consider when making my decision.

Speech

Why are you looking at my speech paradigm just talk it isn't that hard. If you talk well and your ideas make sense, you'll do well.

Ahoy mateys! Ye may call me the Congressional Debate Judge Buccaneer, and I'll be presiding over this debate like a captain on the high seas!

Now, let me tell ye how this will go down. Each swashbuckling debater will have the opportunity to make their argument in front of the whole crew. They'll have to convince us all with their words, or they'll walk the plank!

As a pirate judge, I'll be keepin' a sharp eye on each debater's performance. If they are lyin', cheating, or plagiarizin', they'll be keelhauled for sure! But if they are speakin' with honor and conviction, they might just earn some pieces of eight.

I'll be listenin' for the most vital points in their argument, and weighin' 'em against the opposing debater's points. And I'll be keepin' an ear open for any sneaky tricks or loopholes they try to slip by me. After all, I will be a savvy old sea dog, and I've seen it all before!

At the end of the debate, I'll hoist the Jolly Roger and declare the winner! So, let's see who among ye has the gift of gab and the heart of a true debater! Arrr!
