I am a parent judge in my third year, I have never coached. I am also a professor so I love a good evidence based argument. I've been judging different debate styles online and in-person.

Please attempt to be as courteous to one another as possible. CX should be interactive and probing, but not combative.

Argumentation: I would like arguments to be thoroughly explained and well-warranted. Please no spreading, if I cannot “hear” an argument, I do not judge that argument. I flow rigorously so talking too fast means I can't mark down your ideas.

Speed: I can deal with speed but it can make understanding your argument more difficult. Remember you have gone over this material numerous times, while it is likely the first time I have heard it. If you can explain your arguments concisely without having to talk super fast that is a better option.

Roadmaps are helpful and appreciated but not required. If you give a roadmap please be sure to follow it.
