Additional remarks:
I do not care as much about speed, but please do not go lightning fast to where I can't even hear a tagline. I do have theory and K's lower than other arguments but I will still vote for them! I rate them lower because a lot of debaters do not stress voters enough in theory and alt's enough in K's. If you do that - you certainly have a good chance for my vote!
