Please reduce spreading or offer at a slower pace so I can understand the information being shared

Please be respectful to each other during cross ex.

Clearly state your contentions in a bulleted or numbered sequence so I can clearly follow your contentions

Clearly summarize your contentions and why your contentions carry more weight than your opponents

This is my first year judging, so please make your points in an organized, easy to follow way. The quality of your thinking and clarity of your communication will impress me. Being disrespectful toward your opponent will not. I am open-minded as long as you support your contentions.

Hi guys, here's a bit about me.

I appreciate clarity of argument and well-defined points. You may speak fast, but I am not a fan of spreading. If I cannot understand what you are saying, it may as well have not been said.

Listen to your opponents--I focus on how well you rebut as well as how well you set up your points. Be respectful of each other and of each other's time. I don't tolerate rudeness--there is no need for it.

You can tell me why I should vote for you, but more importantly tell me why your argument is the correct one. Convince me.
