Hi! I am a PF debater. Here are a few suggestions. Do NOT spread. Spreading is not conducive to good substantive debate. Do not run prog unless the offense is heinous. Keep track of your time. (Logic > Facts, Facts > Yap, Substance > Prog) Make sure to extend and defense is NOT sticky. Please extend it. Have fun and make a good argument.

hey! my name is annie and i am currently a junior debating for stuyvesant high school -- i have 4 years of experience in pf, debating primarily on the national circuit. for email chains & questions, reach out to me at my email: ali62@stuy.edu or dm me @annies_skies888; feel free to post round, i’m always down to chat and dms r open :)

• baseline: don’t be a crappy human ????; respect your opponents, don’t be a bigot or read bigoted arguments — if you have to question the ethics of something you’re about to do DO NOT DO IT ❌‼️

• have fun ????‍♀️????‍♀️ the activity should be enjoyable

• WARRANT things please ????; i do not want to play a game of “roll a dice ???? and try to figure out what i’m saying” at 8am on a saturday and it will force me to intervene ☹️

• tech > truth BUT this does not mean you get to sacrifice clarity — your argument should be explained thoroughly, regardless of what it is

• warrants > ev; won’t call for cards unless you want me to ????

• don't spread, especially during virtual tournaments: my internet is bad + my brain likes processing argumentation at a normal speed ty <3 ????

• i will evaluate based on clarity of links, extended arguments, and COMPARATIVE weighing -> tell me exactly what my decision should be, and more importantly, make it easy for me to see WHY. ????????

• still not too familiar with theory and k's, and if you run them, i cannot guarantee making the right decision; if you do it to novices you’re getting auto dropped ????

• speaks -- argumentation is important!!; the point of this activity is to actually interact with your opponents' claims, not read blippy warrants with unclear impacts.

• icks: saying something is extended and then not extending it, saying your opponents dropped everything when they didn’t, talking over your opponents, reading irrelevant responses, purposely avoiding questions after being called out on it, prep stealing, dumping and not knowing what in the world you’re saying

• ways to get speaks on the dl (inspired by renee)

• recs for sillies

• some song recs (feel free to ask for more) : show me how — men i trust; genesis — raye; telepatía — kali uchis; nervous — the neighborhood; take me — miso;

• food n drinks: nongshim spicy shrimp chips, passionfruit tea w. clear boba, xiaolongbao, oyakodon, bibimbap, soy chicken

In the arena where ideas collide,
Voices rise like a turbulent tide.
Passions flare with each pointed claim,
A dance of reason, a spirited game.

Words like arrows, sharp and precise,
Each stance defended, each thought a slice.
From history’s whispers to future’s dreams,
Debaters weave intricate, tangled seams.

With logic as armor, and rhetoric as shield,
They clash with conviction, refusing to yield.
In the heat of the moment, respect finds its way,
For truth, not just victory, guides what they say.

The thrill of the challenge, the spark of the mind,
In the loves of debate, we’re uniquely aligned.
Each side a mirror, reflecting our soul,
In the quest for understanding, we discover our whole.

So let the arguments flourish, let passions ignite,
In the loves of debate, there’s beauty in the fight.
For every contention, a lesson is sown,
In the garden of discourse, we’re never alone.

I do PF -- add me to the email chain at sarina.shah0303@gmailcom. Please send cases and blocks beforehand.

General

Tech > Truth, less of a threshold for args that are techier

Evidence cut cards pls --> No more than a minute to send evidence, if you take more time than that it comes out of your prep

Speed - if > 250 wpm send speech doc

Defense is sticky

Round Specific Stuff

FW and Ovs -- I default util, fine with evaluating other stuff

Weigh (on turns too)

Signpost

Prog :(((

Don't read prog on novices -- I wont evaluate it.

Theory -- trigger warning and cut cards good norms

Ks -- Not confident in my ability to evaluate them

Can't do any other prog stuff

Hey WELCOME to my paradigm! :)

currently a sophomore at Stuyvesant hs. I have exclusively debated PF in tournaments for over 3 years(including ms)-competing under the code Stuy ZO now.

pf eval is simple:

tech>truth mostly -obviously if you tell me the sun is green I will not Eval

I would prefer no spreading-will boost your speaks quite a bit if I can hear your words clearly

comparatively WEIGH please(ask me before round if you are unsure about this)

ADD ME TO THE EVIDENCE CHAIN:ezheng72@stuy.edu

Don't be rude/mean to your opponents and yeah.. Most importantly, ENJOY THE ROUND!

speaks(the TL; dr):

Novice speaks start at 28 by default

Jv/vars start at 27 -too bad so sad.. lock in.

FOR Extra speaks:

+0.3 Name 3 scam artists.

if you get the one I’m looking for. +3 speaks

+0.1 in a speech! say Stuyvesant is the best hs in NY-you need to have at least 1 WARRANT

FOR JV/VARSITY ONLY:I will evaluate prog(blame ld ☠️)

IN A PROG ROUND MY DEFAULT EVAL PREFERENCE(unless you dispute it)

1)bible prog

2)trix

3)theory(disclo ONLY)

4)substance

5)Ks

the rest is random.. don’t run that on me

If you have any questions about hs debate or just generally, just ask after round or email me at ezheng72@stuy.edu

GOOD LUCK!!!!!
