Hey dudes !

I am a rad debate dad. I’ve judged world schools pretty frequently and consider myself to be a pretty okay judge. I’ll vote you up on style content and strategy, but really try and sell what you’re saying to me.

im a proud speech dad:)

speech events for me:

info, OO :

am I being informed , am I being persuaded and am I being entertained? This all is important to me in these events

try your best to know your material back and forth so you are able to make the best presentation possible when it’s Go time ????

DI, HI:

Does your piece move me and bring emotion to the surface-is it thought provoking ?

Congress : this always is entertaining to me

a good mix of speech and worlds debate here-

Please know your bills and cases for them - I pay attention close to that as well as the cross fire of questions afterwards and how you respond or how you are asking the questions if you are in that case

PF/LD-

this is all about your cases being built very strong - so this is research and memory and able to be quick on your feet in the crossfire questioning

please no spreading

amen.

let’s have some fun!

Hello everyone! I’m excited to be here as a judge, because I genuinely enjoy the art of debate and how well-crafted arguments are shared.

Confidence in your presentation is key, and I believe there’s real power in how you carry yourself when making a point. The way you use your sources to back up your claims can truly elevate your argument—it’s a skill that, when done right, is nothing short of artistic.

I want you to know that I’m open-minded and can be swayed by a strong, compelling argument. I value debates that are not only spirited and passionate but also well-planned and respectful. Keep it professional, stay focused, and make your points with clarity—I'm looking forward to hearing your perspectives!
