IMPORTANT THINGS:

I would prefer it if you send theory and analytics as well, especially if you are going for it in final speeches.

Prep time: Please don’t steal prep time. If you stop prep, please stop typing and whispering. That is what prep is for. This goes for both teams regardless of whose prep time it is.

PLEASE DO NOT CARD DUMP. I WILL GIVE YOU LOW SPEAKS! IT IS SO BORING. GIVE ME ANALYTICS. EXPLAIN STUFF. I will give you high speaks if your explain everything and give me judge instructions.

If you want high speaks:

Read impact turns, theory, impact calculus, funny kritiks (that are extremely well explained), and judge instruction.

Less important things:

I am a high school debater with 2 years of experience. I did one year of public forum debate in middle school and 1 year of policy debate.

You can call me judge if you want. Your honor also works.

Dropped arguments: If a team brings back an argument that they dropped, all the other team has to say is “they dropped it already so they can’t bring it back up. Don’t listen to them”. If you don’t say that, I might evaluate it. Depends on how well you extend the argument.

This is a quick summary especially if I am judging Public Forum or Lincoln-Douglas. Make what ever arguments you want as long as there is no hate involved. As long as you explain the argument thourougly, your good. Just explain why your arguments are better than your opponents and why you should win the debate.

THE FOLLOWING IS FOR POLICY DEBATE:

I am alright with all arguments as long as there is no hate involved toward specific groups of people. Run wipeout, spark, etc if you want.

I will give you better speaks if you read a good impact turn. :)

Kritiks: If you run a K, please be slow and explain your arguments thoroughly. Tell me a story. Don't expect card dumping with no explanations to be effective.

Theory: If you can adequately explain why your opponents link, I will consider voting for it. However, if you just say something like Condo Bad with no explanation and move on, I won’t vote for it UNLESS the opponents drop it. If your opponents read theory as a voter and you drop it…sorry. Not sorry:)

Please fully extend your arguments and read enough information to have a complete argument.

Impact calculus: Impact calculus is what will make a difference between winning and losing a debate. Explain WHY you should win the debate.

Clipping: If you clip, you lose. Obviously, accidentally skipping one word is fine but a whole card is a whole different story.

Stock issues: I believe that it is the obligation of the aff to uphold all 7 stock issues: Disadvantages, Advantages, Solvency, Harms, Inherency, Topicality, and Significance. I will vote neg on one of these if you can explain to me why the aff failed to uphold one of these. If you want to run T as an RVI, go ahead. I’ll think its funny but unless the neg drops it, don’t have high hopes.

Have a good debate! Good luck!

I'm an experienced Judge, and I've been doing PF for three years. I've done a few speech events but I'm more experienced in debate.

Debate events:

As I said, I do PF and am more familiar with these events. I am a fast talker so I don't mind it, BUT BE CLEAR! Talk loud and don't mumble (that will affect your speaker points). Please look at me when talking, not your opponents (this alleviates conflict between opponents). Write my ballot for me because I will try to flow as much as possible. Be respectful and don't EVER attack your opponents. I don't like profanity so please avoid it. Please watch your time because I will stop you after ten seconds. I mainly judge off of my flow but if it's close, I will pick the better speakers and the more professional team.

Speech events:

I have done a few events in this category and have also judged these. I would still consider myself a lay judge in this category. Talk loud and do not mumble, again, this WILL affect your speaker points. I don't like profanity and will probably mark off for it. I will stop you after 10 seconds so please watch your time. I will judge off of eye contact, topic, volume, and actions (if applicable).

Good luck! Be confident and try your best!

I sincerely value presentation over text while judging any Interp event. If you go up and act and make me cry I am going to rank you high. With events such as Info and OO, I will take into account the subject of the material. I am a current competitor in speech so I know what I need to judge correctly.

For interp I sincerely recommend a lot of energy. Don't let me zone out due to boredom. I will rank you high if you keep me entertained.

I will rarely judge LD, PF, or CX

I will rank you higher with Congress if you cross reference other speeches. If you don't do that then its you just reading a speech. Perhaps extemp a little. Be energetic. Delivery is important. I will rank POs proportionately to how good they do.

Extemp

Delivery is everything. You can say some things that I will immediately mark you down for. Things like "And other things" or not citing sources. Lay out your points. It makes it easier for my small brain

Pronouns: They/Them/Theirs :)

no judge kick unless instructed

Respect, professionalism, real knowledge and true confidence reflect my style. I will not reveal winners at the end of a round. My judging is fair and unbiased. If you are rude during the round that will be considered unprofessional. Respect for your opponent is a factor in my decision making. Seeking opinions from me after the round will not be given.

Jaggard Williams

Me:

- Assistant coach at The Pembroke Hill School.

- I have history in Public Forum, (HS) Lincoln Douglas, and collegiate NPDA.

Preferences for round:

- Be polite. I don't vote for rude people.

- I can handle about half-flow speed, but super flow speed does not work for me. If you choose to run uber-fast speed, I will do my best to keep up, but I cannot guarantee anything. :)

- Utilize jaggardwilliams1@gmail.com for the chain.

- Give me roadmaps before speeches so I can get my flow in order.

- I don't love K debate, but if you can articulate it well, go ahead.

Here's my blurb:

I want to see genuine clash in the round. If you completely disregard your opponent's arguments just because you want to run some off-the-wall argument, I'm throwing it out the window. If you can link it to the round, then by all means run with it. If you haven't figured it out, I'll listen and ponder anything you throw at me, it just has to be clearly relevant to the round. Also - please don't be debate robots. I would love to see some humor, personality, and charisma in the round - in your speeches, arguments, articulation, mannerisms, whatever. Make it fun! Please, for the love of God, make it fun.

I was in speech and debate in high school from 2015-2019. I did HI, DUO, storytelling, poetry, and POI. Last year, I was an assistant coach for Blue Springs High School. This year, I am the assistant coach for Moreland Ridge Middle School. I never competed in debate, but I have judged many debate rounds before.
