I am a debater for CUNY, I have been debating in college for 2 years mostly in open and jv.I have judged for UDL tournaments and some tournaments in the northeast. How I evlautate debates I pretty much vote on anything , As long you are clear and give me a road map then I will be fine. Also I do like a Roll of a Ballot:). For people who care about speaker points im generous, as long you know your arguements, and speak clear yall be fine.

T- I dont really vote on T and I do not like the argument, but if you can convince me to vote for T I will.

DA/Cp/Fw- I like this arguements, and I dont mind policy stuff. But if your going to defend the USFG do it hard. Give me reasons why I should vote.

K- My favorite arguements, I am familiar with most K arguements but explain the K  arguement and what does the world of the alt look like, and explain your link to the resoultion if you are running a k aff.

Theory- I dont like theory arguements

Wake Forest University '18

Bronx Science '14

- Judged ~30 rounds on the Latin America topic

- I know little to nothing about the Oceans topic--so please define specialized language or acronyms before using them in round

Overview & Brief Notes

First things first--please have fun and be confident! Confidence is key--if you show up to your round with the mentality that you are going to lose, you are bound to underperform! Please be confident and please don't be overly hostile to your opponents! Please don't be overly rude to your opponent/partner. I am okay with being 'aggressive', but don't push it because that will reflect poorly upon your speaks.

I am looking for well warranted, thoroughly explained arguments throughout the entirety of the round! Also, please note that one of my pet peeves is when your opponent claims that you've 'conceded' or 'dropped' something that you have actually covered quite thoroughly. PLEASE FLOW! I am also not persuaded by morally wrong/offensive arguments such as Racism good, genocide good, patriarchy good... Nothing makes a judge more uncomfortable than hearing these arguments. 

Procedurals

Please please please do line by line! Make my life easier! Makes my flow more organized, makes me happier as a judge and more eager to vote for you!

• Use CX wisely--I don't flow CX but I definitely take it into account!
• Be loud & clear--I will say clear 3 times, if you don't speak clearly after the three times, I will deduct speaks.
• I will give each team 30 seconds of free time to flash your files over to the other team; if you use more than 30 seconds, I will start timing prep for flashing!

Argument/Speech Specific Notes

• Topicality--My default is that Reasonability > Competing Interp unless you prove otherwise.
• Please don't just extend your interpretation--tell me how your arg affects the round and/or debate in general. Standards are important too.
• Disads--I enjoy them! The more specific the better! Impact framing is a must. 
• A disad + case debate is always fun to watch--especially when the neg reads a ton of terminal impact defense.
• CPs--I'm a fan of advantage CPs. I'd love to see an advantage CP/Impact turn debate. 
• Not a big fan of conditions CP--be careful running them in front of me.
• K--they're super strategic if executed properly.
• I will vote on conditiionality if you persuade me enough.
• I hate new 2AR arguments--I know that its' something a lot of 2As tend to do, but if I can't draw a line across my flow from the 1AC to the 2AR, there is somethign wrong. Extrapolating arguments from previous speeches is okay but I really don't want to hear entirely new claims being brought up in the 2AR. Same could also be said in the 2NR. 
• You do you. Just be smart and have fun
