I appreciate a conversational speed delivery. If a speaker delivers too fast, I have a harder time flowing the debate. I am looking for clear analysis of why you should win the debate in the rebuttals.

The main thing I look for is good clash. Your speech can be perfect with great contentions, but if you don't mention your opponents' arguments or do anything to rebut them, then you automatically lose the round.

Fluency is very important. Coming from a world schools background I value style and ability to speak just as much as your arguments. Its called speech and debate, not just debate.

Kritiks are fine to use; however, running a k and not responding to your opponents arguments in bad faith will result in an automatic loss.Disclosure theory will always be an automatic loss. Im naturally not a prog debater due to my background and in my opinion, you just dont want to debate.
