Policy Paradigm List
All Paradigms: Show HideI did LD and PF in high school and a bit of policy debate at UCO. I am familiar with all types of debate.
It's been a little while since I've been around policy debate, but I should be able to keep up fine. I think the most important thing to me is being organized. Slow down and clearly tell me evidence taglines / authors, keep things easy for me to flow.

Policy:
I've done just about anything you could think of in policy debate and I'll be good for most things you say. In recent years I've ran almost exclusively settler colonialism, and I tend to be a K focus judge. I don't hold many strong opinions about things in debate, but I've been a 2n/1a for most of my time in debate and most of my 2nrs are the K.
Specific thoughts:
Policy v K debates: This is the type of debate I find that most teams kinda just read their blocks and not interact with the flow, please don't do this with me in the back. I lean a bit neg on the fw question on these debates I guess if I had to have a preference.
K v K debates: no specific comment - I greatly enjoy teams that do a lot of comparative works on their theories and I think that a lot of explanation on why your theory is correct goes a long way with me.
Framework: If the counter interp resolves a large chunk of limits I lean towards the aff. However, I think that if the counter interp doesn't I find it to be a bit hard for the affirmative to impact turn a lot of the neg offense.
Public Forum:
I don't like this debate forum. So clash as much as you can even if the format doesn't allow for it. I flow unlike half of yalls judges, so make sense when you speak and try to actually interact with eachother.
The way to my ballot in Public Forum is to actually win a debate round and not just talk pretty. Just because I'm a policy judge and I don't like PF doesn't mean I want you to turn the round into mini-policy.
