Hi everyone! I was a PF debater in high school. Please don't run a K or frivolous theory. I'm fine with speed just send me a doc ahead of time at rkap2024@gmail.com. I don't needed to be added to the email chain unless necessary.

Feel free to email me with questions ahead of round! Good luck.

wsg everyone

i do parli, impromptu, spar, info, and occasionally wsd and ipda but ive judged ld and pf (and a bunch of speech events) too

for debate:

i'm chill on speed, tech > truth

for neg: im not against conditionality or plan inclusive c/ps as long as you can defend why you should be allowed to keep it in round. i love procedurals, Ks, and theory tbh so do with that what you will

for aff: if you can actually prove why the c/p is worse than the plan... i'll be impressed since theres usually less restrictions on neg. im not against aff Ks. i will say i personally like being aff more but i dont think it's easier to win on aff.

don't run any ad hominem attacks bc that's not chill i'll drop you for lack of decorum (#prideandprejudice) and give you like 9.5 speaks.

basically run whatever do what makes you happy but ill give you 30 speaks if you speak in iambic pentameter. if you crack jokes and i laugh you can bank on getting good speaks. i won't drop your speaks if you have bad posture or if you treat the round as more conversational than professional bc i've had that done to me... like yeah we're here to learn but it's chill to have fun with it. i think speaks are a completely arbitrary system and can be really unfair, so instead of judging on how eloquently you speak/how many times u stumble i'm using the speaks system to measure your judge adaptation.

i value weighing (impacts, prob/mag, solvency). please collapse. it can be hard i know but taking an L is harder

for speech:

personality! be fun and engaging- i've been in rounds where every speech was monotone and it was pretty sad. don't be rude it's literally speech.

some guy i know whose opinion i value greatly:
