First time parent judge. Please speak clearly.

First time parent judge. Please speak clearly.

I am a flay judge please signpost please weigh I am truth over tech

If you are not organized in your speeches I will call you out on it in my RFD

Hey y'all. I'm Sarah, my pronouns are she/her

3 Years on circuit LD at Livingston HS in NJ- I'm a senior

Spreading is fine but share your doc with me: sarahelana104@gmail.com

tech>truth but if you make up insane statistics that might not be the case

TLDR: I hate phil and love policy/literally anything that isn't phil

prefs:

LARP/T-1: I do LARP, so naturally I'm most comfortable evaluating it. I'm an avid believer that if you're not debating topically, then you're not solving the resolution. Were debating the topic, not some random theory of the world.

Theory-1: If you win on theory you probably win the debate (depending on the shell). I'm also kinda a fan of Friv theory but only if it fits the vibe of the round

Ks-2: I can evaluate a K, but something that's super specific to a cultural group/minority that requires intense understanding of the group may not be something you want to read in front of me

Tricks-3: I think tricks are kinda awful. Depending on how fast you read, in my mind its basically cheating. nobody wants to have to listen to every word of someone yapping just to hear "and vote for me unless they say the word notebook". That defeats the entire purpose of a debate in my opinion

Phil-3: Please don't run Phil. I will literally cry if you read phil

I love a good CP/DA. I've always run them and think they're super convincing, depending on if its a logical plan

-------General beliefs

-Drop the debater isn't a real arg, and unless the RVI is even its unfair

-1N theory> 1AR theory> weighing> weird side specific Rotb

-T>FW

-extinction as an extension to a separate impact is cheating

-I totally buy extinction but only if its the only impact- you cant just fall back on the idea that nothing happens if were dead

-no flex prep

-fairness=education

Speaks:

You start at 25 and get points added, not taken away

If you're nice before the debate and like actually talk, that's a good thing

Ill disclose wins at end of round but not speaks- if you want feedback ask for it otherwise it will just be in your RFD

If you've read this far and see this, talk about your favorite food in any speech for +speaks

Or if you show me a pic of your pet pre round/post round or during YOUR OWN PREP +speaks

I have 4 years of experience debating public forum.

• To an extent, tech>truth (don't try to make up something clearly false.)
• Please don't read anything over 250 words/minute, it gets annoying to flow.
• Please send a speech doc if you read anything over 220 words/minute.
• There needs to be front lining in the second rebuttal
• No new responses or offense in the back half (summary and ff), only weighing can be new here.
• BE RESPECTFUL IN CROSS and the entire round.
• Prog (Theory and Ks) it's ok if you run this, but I'm not incredibly experienced with it.
• Concessions---->dropped (YOU MUST EXTEND if you want me to vote on it)
• No "tricks" please.

The order I look at on my flow:

1. Prog
2. Framing
3. Weighing
4. Offense and defense: If the team that wins the weighing wins their case, then they win the round. If the team that wins the weighing loses their case, then their opponents will win if they win their case. If the opponents don't win the weighing or the case and a team loses their case but wins the weighing, the team that wins the weighing wins.
6. - I also drop teams if there is too much discrimination or disrespect.

Be chill. I'll adapt to you. Say Messi is the goat for good speaks.

Don't be rude and have fun.

have fun. flay. +speaks if you make me laugh.

hi! debate how you want and be nice

I will drop you if you read or say anything offensive (racist, sexist, etc.) or make the round unsafe

consider me a flay judge- if you're spreading please send speech docs to me and your opponents.

Collapse, do comparative weighing (very important!), warrant everything, and extend defense.

I don't have a lot of experience evaluating critical arguments but I'll try my best to make a good decision

I start my speaker points at 27 as the lowest and I go up from there

thank you for reading and have fun!

Your weighing is the most important part of my decision. If you don't explicitly weigh your argument against your opponent's using quantifiable impacts, you will have a tough time extracting a positive decision from me.

Do not spread.

If you don't signpost, it'll mess up my flow, which won't bode well for you.

I obviously don't flow crossfire, but I pay attention to it more than most judges.

Finally, your rhetoric is important to me. Using informal or inappropriate language will cause me to knock a decent bit off your speaker score.

For Omega!

DON'T BE MEAN. HAVE FUN AND BE NICE!!!

PLEASE weigh and implicate why your weighing is helping you win the round. (Ex. Don't just say, "we outweigh on scope". Explain why your team outweighing on scope is the most important thing to consider and what changes in your world whether we affirm or negate the resolution). If you don't weigh, I will not vote for you.

Second rebuttal should be frontlining. I don't think defense is sticky, just extend everything that you need for the upcoming speech.

Summary and Final Focus should be mirrors of each other. Don't extend new arguments in second final (plz :,))

WARRANT AND IMPLICATE your responses in rebuttal, summary, FF, etc.

I'm fine with speed, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna be able to follow everything you say and flow it. Also, I think that it could become inaccessible for your opponents as well. In the case that you need to speak fast, please send speech docs! SPEAK CLEARLY

Speaks:

If you say something offensive or make the round unsafe, you will get the L and as low as speaks go.

debated in hs

I know nothing about the topic

tech judge

will prolly vote off the tech

say lebron is the goat in ur case for more speaks

I've never really found paradigms that useful throughout my debate career. I believe that if you debate your best in the style you use best, you are putting yourself in a great position to win the round.

That being said, debate however you want to, as long as you are following PF rules. Saying anything rude/offensive/insulting will tank your speaker points. Saying anything that's blatantly racist, sexist, or anything ending in -ist will result in an automatic loss.

If you have any more specific questions about how I evaluate rounds, just ask me before your debate begins.

Most importantly, remember that debate is supposed to be fun. If you aren't having fun, you aren't doing something right. Have fun and good luck!

Hii, thanks for checking out my paradigm!

I am currently a high school PF debator and have a few years of debate experience :D

When debating I hope both teams keep upmost respect to one another and have fun!!!! If conflict or racist, homophobic, sexist undertones are present, this will affect my evaluation of the round.

The way I judge:

I am mostly a flow judge. I will mainly judge based off which team is better at executing their weighing/links and which argument is most well extended throughout the round.

If both teams are at conflicted weighing (pre-req v. pre-req) I will be voting on whichever team makes their argument stand out on their impact/probability.

Pref/General:

• Feel free to run whichever arguments you want to! BUT make sure you are clear with arguments that are harder to follow.
• When running analytical responses, make sure they make sense! I am a big fan of analyticals and even if the op calls you out for having no cards, if I think the analytical has real world sense I will eval it.
• Try to be organized if you are running longer/multi-cont. cases. Throughout round signposting and clean analytics makes my life so much easier!!!
• I like roadmaps!! So plz mention how your speech will go before you go.
• Summary speakers, try to collapse if you can! It helps shift the focus of the round.
• When spreading if you go too fast to the point your opponents (or me) have a hard time hearing, I will probably intervene for clarification purposes. Remember- you can yell out “clear” if you can’t understand the spread.

Speaker Points:

Overall I will judge this by how clear your speaking and the credibility of what your saying. I will give pretty high speaks all and all so dw.

• Being funny or making a joke = +2 spkpt
• If you run 30 speaks theory I will give you 30 speaks
