Hi, I'm Micah and I use any pronouns.
My email is Micah.sheinberg@gmail.com
I graduated in 2023, so I am not a very experienced judge. I will flow and pay attention, but if you are not clear enough to understand, I will not make your arguments for you. You should explain in the 2NR/2AR why you should win, make it easy for me to write my ballot. Signpost and make it clear where one argument ends and the next begins.
My topic education is approximately none, so just be understandable.
I mainly ran policy arguments in my five years at Rowland Hall so if you are going to run a K you should explain what your framework, what the impacts of not voting on that framework is and talking about the role of the ballot. Don’t be abusive in rounds.

Remember that debate is a game, so have fun. Funny, clear, and effective debaters will get high speaks. If you don't take yourself too seriously and can make fun of yourself I will respect you more.
If an argument is not extended by either team I default to judge kick.
(if you ever feel like I made a bad decision, I get it, but also if you lost a round its because you didn't explain your position in a way that I felt comfortable voting on)
Pretty much everything else is similar or the same as Mike Shackleford, Zachery Thiede and Zachary Klein.
