Dislike spreading, and mean people. BE NICE TO EACH OTHER. I will judge based on how well you present your arguments, and how you handle opposing arguments, and how good your arguments are compared to the other teams. I also love analytics and if you want to do a kritik make sure you know what your doing.

I vote on dua lipa.

chains are chill: ava.aslinia@gmail.com

I will listen to anything.

-does not mean crazy cases will win.

DCI does not help you become a better person - therefore its not important - just because you have evidence does not mean you win the round - you have to persuade me

KDC actually helps you succeed - debate me if you disagree

Abhi Chelluri - BVHS Class of 2026

I've been in debate for multiple years, so I know what's going on

Main priority for me is clarity over speed (if I can't hear the argument, I can't flow it)

Speechdrop or email chain is fine (for email chain, please use avchelluri@gmail.com)

Specifics are as follows:

Affs:I believe there are a couple things aff should do more than others.

1. Respond to things rather than just saying "we already disproved so let's move on"
2. Analytics are a sneaky way to persuade judges (myself included). See if you can find some for your arguments
3. Prove solvency. I will not vote aff if there is not a legitimate and strong claim on how the aff solves the harms

Negs: Don't prioritize specifically on/off case; use both to argue multiple points across the board (creates a better round for everyone)

I will say, I am less experienced in K debates, but if you can prove/explain them well, they will have an impact on my vote

Make sure to have fun!

Hello! I am a junior and I am probably somewhat excited to judge your round. Be respectful, so no bullying, cheating, racism, sexism, homophobia, or other discriminatory behaviors. Otherwise, may the best team win. This can be accomplished by making sure you are flowing well, so you can effectively respond to every argument in the rebuttals. During those rebuttals, be sure to explain to me why you are winning arguments/the entire round and "write the ballot" for me.

If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask me before or after the round!

email: renjeti@bluevalleyk12.net but I prefer (and you should use) speechdrop

• I prefer big picture arguments and appreciate when debaters compare impacts and weigh arguments holistically rather than getting bogged down in technicalities.

• I'm open to non-traditional arguments (kritiks, theory, etc.), but they should be well-explained and tied back to the resolution. I value creative approaches as long as they are clear and impactful.

• I’m fine with spreading, but I will stop flowing if clarity is sacrificed. If I can’t understand what you’re saying, I can’t evaluate it.

• I prioritize well-researched, carded evidence, but strong analytics can enhance your position. Arguments should be grounded in solid research, but analysis and framing of that research are invaluable to winning the round.

• I place a high value on cross-ex. It’s a crucial part of the round for me, and I will use it to assess your strategic thinking, ability to clarify or weaken arguments, and your competence in debate, cross can be scary but that's where good debaters are set apart from everyone else. IF you can dominate your opponent there, it won't be hard to do so in other aspects, and convince me to put your name down on my ballot.

• I award speaker points based on your ability to argue effectively for or against the policy in a way that would persuade a policymaker. Clarity, strategic thinking, and depth of argumentation will be rewarded.

Naturally I expect you to not be discriminatory or push an inherently prejudiced argument.

If you start arguing about the rules of debate, you're gonna lose me. In my experience, the nuances and the nitty-gritty of the rules of debate being violated doesn't matter so much when good argument are happening. You can go a few seconds over time, you can make mistakes or be unconventional, debate itself wouldn't change every year unless people didn't work outside the rules.

Hi! I'm a sophomore policy debater at BVHS.

tech > truth usually (I will only evaluate the args marked on my flow)

Speechdrop is preferred, add me to the email chain if there is one.

pls give good judge instruction, basically write my ballot for me

impact calc!!

not extending the warrants = not extending the arg

know what you're talking about, don't get cooked in cx

start cx w/ "riddle me this" +.1 speaks

don't run T if it's not obvious. has to be reasonable enough of a voting issue

just be a good person and have fun! ask any questions that come to mind and I will do my best to answer

I'm a HS debater, I do policy debate

I will see you friend !

Don't be rude or disrespectful, and pay attention to the round.

Stay professional, don't laugh during rounds or go on your phone.

NO mentions of skibidi toilet

pls refer to me as the basher

yeah go ahead and cancel me if that's a problem idc that's just my opinon

Fine with anything as long as you're respectful. Being rude will not be tolerated.

Hi! My name is Vanee Pattani, and I am a senior. I do Policy Debate first semester and International Extemporaneous Speaking, Informative Speaking, and Impromptu Speaking second semester. I prefer Speechdrop, but here's my email just in case: vapattani@bluevalleyk12.net

Policy Debate:

As a judge, I appreciate people speaking clearly, enunciating, and giving me warrants. Tell me WHY you should win the round -- don't justtell me evidence, explain it to me. An important tip is that you're not trying to convince your opponents, you're trying to convince the judge which policy is better. And of course, be CHILL. No need to be super rude or annoying. That also means do not steal prep time or cheat in any way --- that's just lame.

Specifics:

I LOVE solvency debate. I think that's the most important part of the affirmative speech and the most important part for the negative team to attack. Also, I disagree with cards such as "Extinction good" --- so just don't! But I love fun and unique advantages, so be creative! I'm big on climate advantages because I truly think global warming is an existential problem. :)

I think DA links are the most important. If you don't have a solid link, I think your DA is not is either too vague or simply not strong enough to get your argument across. DA's are a great opportunity to do some impact calc!

Topicality is such a COOL argument, but it MUST make sense and be relevant. I would love to see a debate about standards and voters.

Counterplans are fun to debate and judge only when they are actually COMPETITIVE. What do you do that the affirmative team can't? Again, if you're running a counterplan, you must pair it with a relevant DA.

Kritiks are really interesting; however, they can be tough to understand. Only run it if YOU understand it and can explain it well. But I would love to see some experimentation with it -- or at least with some philosophical arguments.

Refer to arguments on the FLOW. Flow debates are amazing!

If you've gotten this far, I will give you a +0.1 speaker point if you ask me when my birthday is or tell me a dad joke.

Good luck everyone! I'm excited to see what you've got. Break a NEG and kick some AFF.

Hi my name is Noah Pribula. I am a Sophomore at BVHS. Yes I am young. No we aren't talking about it. I play baseball and love to have logical arguments!

Here is what I like to see:

• Tech > Truth (Unless it is a blatant lie)
• T is stupid, I am willing to listen, but for the love of god, please do not make me listen to 90 minutes of T
• I will flow everything, as long as it links, I could care less how you run it
• DA's, case, solvency, and almost anything is good by me
• Write my ballot, I am pretty sutpid, so tell me how I should vote (Yes I know it is spelled wrong)
• And if you give me a high five +.1 speaker points (a Lemonade gets you two extra speaker points)
• If I hear anything demeaning I will automatically mark you down
• Be a good human!
• Ask Questions!

I WILL NOT USE AN EMAIL CHAIN, USE SPEECH DROP!!!!!!!!!!

BV INTRASQUAD UPDATE:

I appreciate good judge instruction in the final rebuttals – frame your arguments in the broader context of the round and explain WHY you should win.

+0.1 speaks for asking how my day is going
+0.1 speaks for making a good joke in your speeches (not stackable)
+infinite aura for following me on insta: @akhil.reddy.13

Feel free to email me or ask questions before the round! Be nice & have fun!

Hi everyone! My name is Noor Sarwar and I am a third-year debater at Blue Valley High School. I'm down for however you guys want to send information. I prefer speech drop but here is an email in case: nsarwar@bluevalleyk12.net

Debate however you want but PLEASE DO NOT SPREAD I want you guys to understand what one another is saying and considering you're probably a Novice you'll have parent judges who do not want to hear you spread (speaking fast). It's your first year of debate and I want you to understand the logistics of how debate works before you start to get more advanced. Also, treat me like I've never seen a debate before/ like a parent judge.

I LOVE impact calc. Emphasize that and give me a clear reason as to why your impacts outweigh theirs.

I LOVE T DEBATES SO MUCH. I love English and debating T is something I definitely love to see. Please clearly state all components of T and don't forget stuff. i.e. voters, standards, counter interp, etc. If you forget those I won't consider your T argument.

For DAs give me the story and have a strong link argument. If your DA isn't unique I probably won't vote on you no matter how big your impacts are. Also for impacts run whatever you want but make sure you have strong evidence to back it up. If you say extinction occurs and you don't give more evidence after someone refutes that then I'll probably give the win to the other team. Give me a clear link to the impact story and if you stray afar I probably won't consider it.

K's I don't really care for those so long as you can explain the alt and why the plan is worse than SQ and why alt is better. (I'm assuming many of you aren't running K's so you can ignore this). I am treating this as a policy maker (acting like a parent judge) so if you tell me anarchy, communism, authoritarianism, etc. is better than democracy I probably won't vote for you (not many parents will either) unless you give me a clear reason why it is better and state empirics (evidence where it did work).

Be chill, don't be mean. Debates can certainly get heated but the minute you call someone stupid, an idiot, etc. You will get an automatic 4 and lose the round. Debate is positive and should be fun. YOU guys are a part of that and should represent the positive and fun environment of debate well. If you read this far congrats! If you tell me a joke at the beginning of the round you will get +.2 on speaker points :)

Have fun and good luck to everyone!! You're going to do amazing :)

About Me: Senior, 4th year in Speech & Debate.

Nsudheer@bluevalleyk12.net

General: Try to plan out your time wisely, be prepared, don't drop arguments, and be respectful to other people.

Performance: Start off by giving a brief roadmap cuz they make life easier ehehe; it should just be a short and concise overview of your speech. Heavy on presentation skills, it's one thing to have good evidence, but also explain it well and elaborate;) Make sure you're emphasizing points, maintaining eye contact, using hand gestures, strong vocal inflection, etc. I'm pretty comfortable with speed, as long as you're clear with your arguments. But do try not to talk too fast during rebuttals, and make sure to really emphasize your points during then.

Now for the good stuff: I like a good debate around all the stock issues; pretty big on solvency evidence but I'll look into all the other stuff too. Have SLAY public speaking skills and emphasize why your plan works. When it comes to Off-Case arguments, CP's and DA's are always great! If you decide to run topicality, I will generally go along with it as long as it's necessary and makes sense to be ran, and you prove your point ofc. Theoretical arguments are ok. Just use Kritiks if you 100% know what you're doing. I REALLY like seeing the use of Impact Calc, especially during rebuttals. Use it at all times when necessary, and in an effective manner. Rebuttals are my FAVORITE part of the debate, so do your best then.

Lastly, if you have a better style of fashion, I may forget about all this and just vote for you :)) Also, be sure to have fun during the round, and take it as a learning experience!
