Hello, I’m a third-year debater at Dodge City High School. I’ve had the opportunity to judge numerous rounds, but there are a few points I’d appreciate clarification on during our debate.

• I appreciate diverse argument styles, but please include all necessary parts to structure them effectively. (For example, DAs, Counter-Plans, theories, etc., need to have all the necessary parts.)

• Please maintain a moderate speaking pace (slow) I prefer a round where I can easily follow and understand the arguments.

• I want an off-time roadmap to help me understand what arguments I'll be flowing/hearing.

• Signposting is essential!!!!! Please let me know when you are transitioning to a new argument.

Please be nice and kind to everyone. Introduce yourself before the round starts. I'd appreciate it if you could share your school name and whether you are speaker 1 or 2 in the debate round.

If you have any questions please let me know. Good luck everyone!!!

He/Him

Speak clearly, I prefer a slow round over spreading. I love counterplans(aff specific CPs over generic), but if you are going to run one don't just do so because it's in my paradigm. Not a fan of K's. Don't be rude. I will do my best to answer any questions that you have before the debate. I am currently a policy and LD debater in high school, this is my third year of doing both.

bonus speaker points for working if you work in Coca-Cola being the best soda.

t/l notes + non-negotiables:

lena.hasiukdebate@gmail.com -- add to whatever file sharing that is happening (and, that should be happening!)

i am very uncomfortable with handshakes.

if there isn't a timer going, you aren't prepping -- prep stealing = embarrassing!

speed = fine (i do dci/toc circuit debate)

no argumentative preference -- just don't be problematic and i should be fine

Hello! My name is Nada, I've been a debater since "Let there be light".

I'm a stock issue judge. I love Stock issues and I believe topicality, theory, CP, and even K's are very important and If the aff doesn't answer any of the arguments the neg brings up or vice versa, I will vote on that.

Don't be rude, Be kind and disagree while being nice.I understand neg will likely use generic arguements, but make sure to have a good link, that you can extend on.

I dont like PIC , If you are going to make a CP, Make it unique. No generic arguments, Explain things very well, and how they relate to it. Don't

I like DAs and I am bigger on stock issues. Please do not spread and I'd prefer if you'd elaborate on cards.

Run whatever you feel like but don’t be problematic or you’ll lose the round. Debates can get heated but please try to be kind because at the end of the day we’re all to here to try and learn and have fun. Make smart arguments and try and adapt during rounds rather than just reading prescripted blocks. Tech > truth but if the argument is stupid and the other team points that out it’s gonna be pretty persuasive. Please try and make my decision easy, judge instruction and clash make it easier to vote for you than having to sort out the debate myself.

Hi I'm Will (he/him). I'm a debater at Free State. I will listen to anything and maybe flow. I will vote on basically anything as long as its explained. Talking fast is probably okay maybe an 8/10 if you are really really fast. Add me to doc sharing stuff. Ive mostly done policy debates/ran cap but ive watched my fair share of kritikal debates. Just explain everything well if its a k that isnt common.

DONT BE PROBLEMATIC

CX

cx not a speech but you should still reference it if opponents make a mistake

be respectful but sometimes its necessary to interrupt a bit

just stay calm

Case

case debate = good

Explain your arguments please

also extend link chain in every speech even when you collapse in 2ar

T

Love a good T debate

Default competing interps but I can be swayed for anything

DA

I think disads are good. Just explain the link well and try to make it somewhat specific to the plan if possible.

CP

Counterplans are fine. I'll vote on anything.

K stuff

I'm not super well versed in the world of Ks and I only really know the cap lit (I've read cap) but no matter what I will make an attempt to evaluate it fairly. Make sure you explain the K super well and the other team should point out if it doesn't make sense.
