My Background:

I have competed in Congressional Debate and Extemporaneous Speaking for 4 years, so I value delivery as well as simple argumentation.

Congress: I like confidence, delivery, vocal variation, and a simple logic chain that can be defended in questioning. I like new arguments at the beginning of the round, warrant-level refutation in the middle of the round, and pure blood bath refutation if you are giving the last speech with rhetoric as well. POs start as my 3, if you do extremely well you could get my 1, but if you do poorly your rank will reflect your work.

Extemp: Answer the question, have vocal variation, be funny, be fluent, be your best.

PF/ LD: I'm listening for simple easy to understand arguments. Don't make me do the work, it is your job to spoon-feed me the argument: the claim, warrant, link chain, and impact.

Anything Else: Treat me as a lay judge.
