<p>Dr. Dan Schabot</p> <p>Lower Columbia College</p> <p>Years Debating: 5 total (1 years NFL LD; 4 years CEDA/NDT )</p> <p>Years Coaching/Judging: 15 Total (2 years CEDA/NDT; 13 Years NPDA)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>General Philosophy:</p> <p>Each team should make good (well supported and well-reasoned) arguments and clash with each other. I prefer 2 or 3 in depth positions to 5 or 6 blipped positions.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Specifics:</p> <p>Affirmative teams:&nbsp; At this point in my judging life I am no longer interested in listening to debates that do not at least make an attempt to address the topic in the resolution.&nbsp; You can run any position you want as long as you explain why what you are arguing deals with the topic.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Negative Teams:&nbsp; I also feel that negative teams have the responsibility to address affirmative arguments as well as presenting their own.&nbsp; Positions just run for the sake of filling time (such as generic T) have little weight with me.&nbsp; Each position should be part of a coherent strategy to win.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Speed and Presentation:&nbsp; If you feel the need to go fast that is fine.&nbsp; However, running a bunch of positions just so you can go fast is useless.&nbsp; Speed as a strategy (in and of itself) will not be rewarded. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>RFD:&nbsp; My preferences are listed above.&nbsp; I have and will vote for just about any argument type. A team must clearly explain why their advocacy is superior to other team&rsquo;s advocacy to win a round.&nbsp;</p>
