<p>Judging a round isn’t very complicated, unless you make it. That being said, I love<br /> rounds where I REALLY have to think about who I pick at the end. I’ve been noticing a lot of<br /> competitors arguing with their critics. I don’t like being argued with about my decision. Asking<br /> questions is perfectly fine, but I leave my speaker points unmarked until I reach the ballot table.<br /> On topicality: I am fine with legitimate topicality. Every good neg team knows to prep<br /> procedurals before entering a round, in the event they need them. However, I dislike teams<br /> running topicality as a time suck. I think it subtracts from debate, especially when aff answers<br /> your topicality with on simple delink,<br /> but still has to go through the entire process anyways.<br /> On kritiques: I am also fine with legitimate kritiques. However kritiques get a little more<br /> grey area to work with. This is because kritiques have been utilized to make stances in the<br /> debate community itself, I am a little more lax with them, especially for those who know how to<br /> prepare and link to any resolution. This leans more into program/kritikal aff territory though, but<br /> I feel the same way about these as well. Kritiques are not a “time and place” arguments like<br /> topicality, but more about knowing the art and properly applying it.<br /> Rate of delivery. I am fine with debaters going quickly as long as they properly tagline<br /> everything. For example, when you are at the link level, give me one quick one word to explain<br /> it, then go into details. I comprehend faster than I write, and if you don’t tell me what’s<br /> important, I may write down the wrong information, and that puts your team in a bad position.<br /> The details I can listen too, and I just need a word to spark my memory when going over the<br /> debate.<br /> Attitude in round. I enjoy light hearted debate, but not at the expense of anyone in the<br /> round, or outside. Unless it's a jab at a politician, they aren’t people.</p>
