Bixby Green Corn Classic 2024

Novice Debate Paradigm List
All Paradigms: Show HideFirst of all, I’m still a senior in highschool, so obviously if you’re seeing this then you’re probably either a novice, I forgot to update my paradigm, or this is an EIF tournament. That being said, obviously I have different requests for each event.
for LD: please don’t spread, I consider it abusive especially on the traditional circuit (if you are EIF this doesn’t apply). I prefer philosophy heavy arguments rather than card vs card debate. This isn’t policy so please don’t make it one person policy debate all due respect. Please don’t give me off time roadmaps unless it is specific, I would rather just flow what I hear than being prepared to do something that is inevitably going to be changed because let’s be real this is novice LD and it’s hard out here guys. Please don’t call me judge repetitively, I understand a “judge my opponent…” but don’t constantly ask if I’m ready by asking judge just say “is everyone ready”, I’m picky and it’s okay if you do this it’s all just preference, obviously that won’t skew my judgement. If you provide your opponent a copy of your case because you do plan to spread then I also will need a copy.
for pf: pretty much the same as ld but I’m a bit more lenient with the ruling about cards and stuff obviously. Please don’t yell over eachother, it’s rude and immature, you can cut each other off if you deem it necessary but no need to yell.
policy: honestly the likelihood of my judging policy is low until I graduate but if I do judge you for policy I would just ask that you please be respectful of both me and your opponents time and don’t run a joke argument because you got dared to by your team member who’s older than you.
Generally just be respectful of my time and you opponents time and feelings good luck!!!!
