Who I am?

I am a traditional parent judge. Talk slow, strong, loud, clear, and passionate. When speaking use visual eye contact frequently and engage with the judge(s). When discussing an argument, be specific, support your argument, do not overcomplicate things, and make sense. (This is more important then how long and fast you talk for).

For LD

Reminder: I am a parent judge. Stay whole-res. and do not spread. If you spread (talking super fast), you will not win, regardless if you are winning the flow.

Do not run K’s, counter-plans, theory, etc. Stay true to debate and the resolution. I will judge on the flow; therefore, during rebuttals stay line-to-line or contention-to-contention. The easier it is to judge, the easier it is for you to win. Extend your arguments and your opponents. VC and Values are crucial to LD, use this in the round and it will be a factor in determining the win.

For PF

Similar to my stance on LD, know that I am a parent judge and I do not evaluate or know progressive debate. No spreading, talk clear, precise, and use eye-contact.

For Speech

Talk slow, strong, loud, clear, and passionate. When speaking use visual eye contact frequently and engage with the judge(s). When discussing an argument, be specific, support your argument, do not overcomplicate things, and make sense. When citing evidence, cite REAL evidence, and do not use the same news source 20 times throughout the speech.

Good Luck!
