Hello!
I did LD for all of high school and I'm very excited to be your judge!

Progressive/Traditional
I prefer traditional debate, but I will not vote for you down for simply running progressive arguments. I can follow whatever you decide to run. Just make sure to be clear in what you are saying and be organized in your speeches.

Spreading
I can follow spreading, just make sure to be clear. Things will be dropped on the flow if I cannot understand you. Speaking is very important in debate and so no matter how fast you decide to talk, make sure you are clear and organized.

Framework
I will weigh heavily on framework. Show me how your framework outweighs your opponent's. Framework is a foundational part of LD and so there needs to be time spent on it.

Impacts
I will also weigh heavily on impacts. Tell me what is the impact of your case, as well as the negative impact of your opponents. I need to know why what you are arguing matters.

Cross Examination
Cross ex is a crucial part of the round, just make sure you are kind to your opponent. Be firm, but not aggressive. You will lose speaker points for being too aggressive or not letting your opponent answer your questions.

PF
In PF, I look for similar things. Weigh heavily on your impacts and be concise. Extend your arguments and be polite in cross examination. I can handle anything progressive in PF, just make sure to maintain good speaking and argumentation. Tell me why you won the round.

The most important thing is that you have fun and that you show me what you can do as a debater. I have a deep appreciation for debate and so I'm very happy to have the opportunity to judge. If you ever have any questions about a round or want more feedback, my email is sjanda0703@gmail.com Good luck :)

truth=tech because you can’t have tech without believing in the truth of science

Please explain to me what a convention is, I hate lack of explanations they make me very sad :(

I give each argument a score of 1 to 100. From there your opponents rebuttals can bring it down, but remember, not all arguments start at 100. I like to use what’s called the cool guy score to judge. Here is a formula sheet to calculate your speaker points and winning constant.P is personality score. n is number of arguments above 50 points. K is spreading constant. C is cool guy score.
C = n(p)/10+k(s)/10

s = 25+ (k(p)^2)/100

lders, please do not debate framework if you and your opponents frameworks essentially mean the same thing. If not, then PLEASE debate framework. Give me a lens with which to weight the round. If you doing give me that I will have to default to picking my own, and you never know which that one is.

I have a fairly short attention span so keeping me interested would definitely help you.

PS Big Questions is objectively the best form of debat
