Hello!

I am a sophomore at Stuyvesant High School with 3 years of PF experience

email: acheuk60@stuy.edu

General:

• Tech > Truth usually
• I will stop flowing if you are over 15 seconds overtime
• I don't evaluate cross unless its brought up in speech
• minimal spreading (speed is fine but don't go ham)

YAY:

• EXTENSIONS (but not in rebuttal) <-- I won't evaluate arguments that aren't extended through round
• Collapse
• Weigh (tell me exactly where to vote, I'm not doing the work for you)
• INTERACT with other team's weighing (i want to see clash)
• Frontline in second rebuttal
• I love GOOD turns (they have to have impacts)

NAY:

• No warranting
• Being problematic
• Hogging crossfire
• New arguments in final focus
• obvious stalling or abusing prep

Please be respectful. I'm doing this for free and would not appreciate being yelled at/ watching people yell at each other. Rudeness = low speaks

Have fun!

hi guys! :)

my name is piper, i debated on the national circuit for LC Anderson for 2 years, and am semi-involved in the activity now at Columbia Secondary.

For pf: any reading speed is fine, cards should be well cut (evidence must say what you say it says), bring up everything you want me to know in your speech, framing of the round should happen in constructive or top of the rebuttal, no new offensive arguments past rebuttal please! If something important happens in cross, please make sure to also mention it in subsequent speeches, summary and final focus should mirror each other.

please be kind and civil with your opponents!!!

feel free to ask me any questions before and after round!

Hi! My name is Ryan and I use he/him pronouns. I debated for Mark Twain I.S.239 for 2 years, and am now a high school junior at BTHS.

I don't have many preferences, but these are a few that I have, ranked from most important to least important:
1) Be respectful, I will allow cursing if you feel the need to, but any speech directed to others that can be offensive will not be tolerated. Slurs will also be completely intolerable. (This reflects mostly on speaker points)

2) Do not speed debate. It does not matter how much you can say if I cannot comprehend the speed at which you are speaking.

3) Please speak if you want to speak. Do not cut someone off or outside of your speech, but if you are in cross for example, and want to speak, SPEAK. If you do not feel that you are allowed to, ask to speak!

I will not flow crossfire, but I do pay attention and it will be counted to speaker points. My timer will be visible to you guys. I will start timing as soon as I hear you begin, just start with a countdown.

If a card is called, and you cannot provide it, it will be ignored!

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at ryanfung.ny@gmail.com

PF debater on the Horace Mann School team.

FOR PARLI:

I know what a good argument sounds like but also I am humble enough to ask questions about how parli rounds work :)

Doing this out of my love for Emily Grant not because I love parli (#PFsupremacy)

Bonus points if you call me "your honor"

PF PARADIGM:

Boo theory boo K's :/

Yay cases that implicate warrants straight thru to impacts, extend arguments through final focus, and interact with evidence brought up by opposing teams instead of just clash and indicts.

The less thinking I have to do in order to cast my vote, the better.

Ideally, frame the round for me and weigh starting from rebuttals --> throughout the round.

Have fun! Don't be explicitly rude in cross, no one cares for such atrocities!

If you're starting an email chain for evidence/speech docs add me (naomi_gelfer@horacemann.org)

Bonus points if you call me "your honor"

my best friend is JoJo Mignone she also debates she's my partner sometimes go look at her paradigm she has some good ideas

Hi everyone! I'm a sophomore and I debate PF for Stuyvesant. (she/her)

How I evaluate:

-Tech>Truth

-Warrant all of your arguments.

-Signposting is very important, esp if you want high speaks.

-Extend your case through all of your speeches, otherwise I won't evaluate it.

-Extensions should not be blippy, you must extend your uniqueness, link, and impact.

-You must be consistent in the back half of the round; if you didn't bring it up in summary, don't bother bringing it up in final focus. I won't evaluate it.

-You must weigh. Please clearly state when you're moving on to weighing, and weigh your turns, or else I won't grant you offense.

-I will evaluate prog if you can explain it clearly and simply.

Some logistics:

-Please do not go over 10 seconds in speeches.

-I'm fine with spreading, but be reasonable lol

Be a decent person, or else I will give you low speaks. Let me know if you have any questions before round!

Hello everyone! My name is Valeria Proekt. I began debating in middle school and have continued debating through high school. This is also my third year judging middle school debate.

A few things to note about my judging:

1. Please fill most, if not all of your time in a speech. Personally, I see it as a poor reflection of preparation if lots of time is left over, or for that matter, used after the clock is up.

2. I much prefer a speech with purpose, confidence, and conciseness, over a speech with lots of crammed information that is read at lightning speed. It's easier for judges, and opponents, to flow a speech that isn't rushed through, and good pacing gives you time to elaborate on each point. Speed debating is a huge pet peeve of mine, so please read at a moderate pace, this should be practiced before a tournament.

3. I will be keeping time, but I recommend you all keep time for yourselves to make sure you don't go too far under or over the clock.

4. Remember, you can not add any new information in your final focus.

5. In regards to jargon and technical language, as long as it is clear that YOU understand what you are saying (and you aren't clearly just using words to sound more knowledgeable without knowing what they mean), I have no issue with it. Feel free to use any topic-specific language you feel is necessary, there is no need to define every term you use unless you feel it helps your case.

6. When determining who won, I examine weighing most of all, followed by scope and magnitude. If an argument is dropped mid-round and is not addressed by the other team, it will not be considered as there is no follow-through.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them! I love answering any questions you might have. Remember, work hard, but also have fun, be confident, and enjoy your experience. I wish you all luck!

HI! I am a former public forum debater, so I flow my rounds. Make sure to be polite and respectful to your opponents during the round. I will be able to understand you as long as you speak at a tolerable pace and articulate your speeches. If I can't hear an argument properly I don’t include it in my flow, and it won't be counted towards my vote. I also don’t flow cross, so make sure that you bring up any of those points later in the round. Lastly, I award speaker points based on debaters who articulate their points clearly.

flow judge

Hi, I’ve been doing pf for 2 years, now judging debates when i’m available

Mainly looking for weighing and numbers so i can understand your arguments better

I will not be judging crossfire and will only take points from cf in consideration if they are brought up in other sections of the debate

Feel free to be passionate in your points, but please refrain from being aggressive or especially rude in the round.

thanks for listening and have fun!
