Hi! My name is Sanjana and I'm a senior at Quarry Lane on the PF team.

• Tech > Truth
• Speed: I'm comfortable with a fast pace as long as you're clear. Please signpost (moving to their case, on their first contention, etc.) and be organized in your speech
• Evidence: Send speech docs w/ cut cards for case and rebuttal
• Please collapse strategically on your own contentions as well as your responses to your opponent's case. The debate should ideally be narrowed down after each speech (quality > quantity!)
• Completely extend any piece of offense (UQ, links, impacts) & defense through summary AND final focus for it to be evaluated. No brand new arguments should be made in second summary or final focus.
• Make sure to frontline in second rebuttal/first summary
• Comparative weighing (link & impact) is super super important. Don't just restate your impacts, explain why they come first. I'll evaluate arguments with the strongest weighing first.
• Progressive arguments: I do have some experience debating theory (disclosure good & paraphrasing bad) and would try my best when judging these debates! Don't read any frivolous theory. I have very little experience w/ Ks so I wouldn't be the best judge for that.

Always be respectful to your opponents! And it should go without saying but don't read arguments that are racist, sexist, homophobic, etc, as those won't be evaluated.

Debate can be stressful but make sure to have fun :)

send speechdocs for constructive and rebuttal before speech, helps me flow the round

second rebuttal should frontline offense and have defense

extend args you're going for in every speech; not in one speech = dropped

no new weighing in second FF, no new args/evidence in ffs

signpost for all of your speeches, offtime roadmaps are good too

interact with opponents' frontlines and rebuttals. don't just repeat your own args

solid time allocation, efficiency, clarity, enthusiasm = good speaks

weigh. tell me why you your impacts matter more, why I should vote for you

im okay withspeed. if you think you go too fast though please send me speechdocs

I don't really listen to cross, won't evaluate anything from cross unless it's brought up in a speech.

feel free to postround me -- Ithink it's educational and am more than happy to elaborate on any part of my decision.

not too familiar with theory and K's, run at your own risk

I debated high school policy debate in the Mid 1990's and collegiate parliamentary at community college before transferring to UC . I am currently a speech and debate teacher at Quarry Lane school, Dublin CA . I am focused on Public forum debate. Before that I was the coach of Skyline High school in Oakland, CA and focused on Policy debate (primarily varsity performance) . Before then I coached at El Cerrito High School in Northern CA and coached all events, flex policy as well as lay adapted teams. I have coached teams to TOC, NSDA, and CA state championship. I love the community I coach in. It is the daily conversations, discussions, and socializing that keep us all going. Debate changed my life, it wasn't the only thing that made who I am but it's important and I am grateful to be able to share that gift with students on a daily basis.

Public Forum paradigm.

I am new to coaching public forum but am able to adapt from a historical policy background of 20 years. Speed is fine. But I always emphasis clarity. Technical debate is good. I will flow. Debaters should collapse to key winning arguments in beginning in the rebuttals. New arguments in summary and final focus are discouraged unless responding to an abusive argument by an opponent. I am comfortable with flex, both straightforward policy or Kritiks both post-modern to performance. I'm fairly tabula rasa in the sense that you are responsible for upholding the framework for the debate. Theory is fun and I enjoy a well reasoned theory debate with impacted standards.

In regards to evidence analysis I am looking for you to read warrants and good data and extend it and use it throughout the debate. Offense is key. Think strategically and you will be rewarded. Most of all have fun. Decorum is essential.

hey! I’m tiffany a pf debater for quarry lane :)

I’m ok with a fast pace, just be clear. If you’re going really fast please send a speech doc.

Frontline in second rebuttal, and please collapse! Completely extend (uniqueness, links, impacts) offense and defense in summary and final focus. no new arguments in second summary or final focus. 

Please signpost, it really helps with flowing!

Interact with the other side don't just repeat your arguments, implicate your arguments (if something is conceded tell me why it matters)

Start weighing as soon as possible, do comparative weighing (link and impact preferably). I'll look to weighing first when evaluating the round.

Progressive args: I'm somewhat familiar with theory, I think paraphrasing is bad and disclosure is good. Don't run frivolous theory. I'm not familiar with Ks, read at your own risk (explain it really well if you do run them)

For LD: I have no topic knowledge, so explain stuff well :)

speaks:

Clarity, be strategic, humor = good speaks

Reading cut cards and sending speech docs (before the speech) is good

Don't go too much over time, steal prep, or be disrespectful

Good luck and have fun!

I am currently a sophomore at Emory university. I debated public forum at the quarry lane school for four years.

please add me to the email chain - snellian@student.quarrylane.org. Send speech docs before each speech !

I'm fine with speed, but make sure you're clear. Frontline in 2nd rebuttal. Any offense you're going for in final focus should be extended completely (uniqueness, links, impacts) in summary. Cross is binding but doesn't matter unless it's in speech. Please collapse !

Start weighing as early as possible and definitely focus on comparative weighing (both link and impact level if possible), when I'm looking at the arguments, I'll start with the one with the strongest weighing.

Always be respectful towards your opponents. I won't evaluate arguments that are sexist, racist, homophobic, ableist, etc. Lastly, debate can be stressful but make sure to have fun :)

Regarding prog arguments, I have little to no experience with Ks (I’ve debated a K maybe once or twice). If you want to read a K, I think it’s super interesting but I probably won’t be able to evaluate it well and am not a great judge for that. I’ve debated/read theory before, and have more experience with it than Ks, but I’m not extremely experienced with it either.

Good luck and feel free to email me before or after the round if you have any questions.
