<p>I am the coach for Southridge High School in eastern Washington. I competed in high school debate in the 90s. I've been coaching for 18 years. Each topic has lots of ground, find it and bring the arguments into the round. Be polite and kind. Rude debaters almost never win. I can flow relatively quickly but will punish debaters’ speaks if they are unclear or unprepared. I try to vote on the flow, although I don't like Topicality run without forethought. I am not a fan of the kritik but I will vote for one. I don't mind theory arguments, I just need to be clearly told how the impact relates to what is happening in the round. I vote on issues where I can clearly see the impact in the round. I like clear, fast, well organized debates with lots of good arguments and lots of impacts. When I sit on out round panels, my decisions are very similar to those of current college debaters, not communication judges. Arguments about sources are tiresome and I am more persuaded by rationale or meta-analysis. </p>

<p>When I judge a debate I am looking for well constructed and supported cases. I also want to see clash that is logical and directed toward the specific issues that are being debated rather than a generic argument that students use on a regular basis regardless of what their opponents have brought to the table, a sort of "one argument fits all brief."</p>
