Howdy. My name is Louis, please address me as "judge" during round (keeps things respectful).

I have done World Schools, Public Forum and Congress during my four years in high school and did some IEs as well (qualled more for IEs and not debate sadly lmfao)

Please keep in mind I am a flay judge, so running all the debate lingo stuff (theory, K, affs) I won't entirely understand unless you make me understand it myself.

No spreading either please, I will yell "clear" once, and if you fail to slow down I won't flow your arguments at all.

Be respectful during round too, personal attacks and insults are displeasing in a debate as a judge, and will result in an automatic loss. Humor is welcome, insults are not.

Remember to defend your case as much as you attack your opponents' case. An imbalance between strategies will make me confused. Extend your own arguments as early as you can in your off-the-cuff speeches as early as you would with rebuttals as well.

Offtime roadmaps are great too, makes my job as a judge way easier.

Other than this, good luck to all teams!
