Lincoln Douglas Paradigm List
All Paradigms: Show HideI competed in LD and Extemp for two years in high school 2015-2017.
LD: I have been removed from debate for a few years, so terminology doesn't come quickly to me so be careful of jargon or just explain it. I started judging August 2021 for context so consider me Lay. If you speak fast, you should still be clearly enunciating what you are saying. I know what this looks like so don't spread unless you can do it where I can catch all the words. If you spread regardless, just know i'm catching like nothing.
I'm not familiar with progressive terminology things like K's, Theory etc... just FWI since I never ran these in debate. I'm getting more familiar as I hear them but you have to tell me how to evaluate the round and explain the voters clearly. I understand theory more than K's but really don't prefer them ran. I like traditional LD cases or plans. I've only had one round where a debater clearly explained the Theory shell and why I should vote on it.
But, I'll listen to anything and will consider it as the judge but explain it plz and don't let the judge get lost. I don't really flow CX. Slowing down and giving me the tagline or evidence name really helps me flow (:
My speaker points rn are pretty much based on how well I understood your case and how well I was able to follow your speaking through the round.
30 - Perfect speaking, an awesome thought out case, very clear, was able to flow easily, mapped out the flow for me, told me what to vote on and why, responded to all arguments that are active on the flow.
29 - Good speaking, Able to follow case and flow the round, mapped the flow somewhat, some voters, responds to arguments.
28 - Good speaking, case is understandable and was able to flow. No mapping, no voters, drops arguments extensively.
27 - Poor Speaking, drops arguments, case isn't clear. Ran a super super progressive debate against a very new debater. (Different types of case formats are fine (Plans etc...) , but if it gets to a point where your opponent has absolutely no idea what you are saying and cannot respond, the debate just sucks at that point)
26 - Something offensive occurred in round or attitude was very rude towards each other.
If one debater is more progressive versus their opponent and the understanding gap of the type of argument being run isn't there, it will make the debate very difficult to judge. Please make sure your opponent and your judge understand what you are arguing.
You are welcome to add me to the email chain bc we are virtual - I will only use it if you cut off bc it's virtual or if one piece of evidence becomes a huge issue in the debate and makes it a big factor in making a decision. But I will be flowing and listening to what I hear not what I read. - minaal99@gmail.com
I don't disclose and I kinda suck at oral feedback but I can try if you want feedback right away but it takes some time for me to go through the flow and figure out the round. I try my best to be detailed on the ballot unless I am pressed for time.
Please feel free to ask me any questions! (:
