I have been actively coaching for over 15 years. I have been coaching and judging Public Forum Debate since its first appearence at the state tournament. I prefer a reasonable rate of delivery. I do not prefer over use of debate jargon in Public Forum Debate. During the rounds I prefer to take bullet point notes on key points of the respective arguments. I value both argument and style. I find logical and persuasive arguments valuable. My expectations for debaters to treat each other with respect.

Cooper's Paradigm -
To be able to judge a round, competitors must speak loud and slow enough for me to understand their arguments. Arguments should be supported by evidence along with sound reasoning. Dropped points do not necessarily win a round.

I find that it is best to judge on what's being said and understood rather than the largest amount of evidence presented. I want to see competitors use their voice to convince me of their position rather than sprout out tons of pieces of evidence. I want ethos, pathos and logos in your arguments. That being said, I need to hear the arguments so rate of speech is key for me, especially in cross examination.
