Hii! I'm Tiffany Nguyen from Millennium Brooklyn High School and I debate (First Speaker (the superior speaker)) in PF.

Please introduce yourself, your pronouns, and which speaker + side you are.

What I'm looking for:

- I'm good with most speeds, just make sure you're comprehensible.

- I will be keeping track of your time, but you should track your own too to stay aware of your pacing

- I will not be judging your crossfires (none of your judges should be), so if something important is brought up, make sure to repeat it in your speeches

- WEIGH IMPACTS!!! That's what will win you the round

Good luck everyone!! <3

Please speak clearly and at a reasonable pace. Speaking too fast will not show you know more, rather it may make it difficult to be able to note every point. Good luck to all!

It is good practice to show the Weighing of Arguments including Scope, Timeframer, Other -"isms", Magnitutude & probability when addressing both your team's and your opponent's arguments.

Use crossfire to your advantage: ask questions that are friendly to your arguments, while also asking questions that break down or require additional proof to the opposing team's presented arguments, and then - BRING IT UP in the next round. Saying it in cross is not enough, you must use it to prove your argument's merit.

Poor sportsmanship including Ad Hominem attacks will not be tolerated.

Respect, integrity, confidence - Tirado
