<p> Tabula Rosa, will judge on most any issue so long as it is presented fairly and persuasivley. Come from an LD background, but comfortable with speed and policy arguments. Prefer that debaters empahsize the standard/framework debate.</p>

<p> Overall - The team who makes my job easiest, the side who walks me through their logic and makes complete, warranted, and comprehensible arguments is the team most likely to win my ballot. The harder I have to work to fill in details on your behalf, the less likely it is that you will win.</p> <p> a priori -> DECORUM is the supreme a priori voter. Treat one another as colleagues. Respect is your code word. Rudeness is not equal with aggression - you can be the latter without being the former. Being a jerk does not show strength... it shows you're a jerk.</p> <p> Event Specific:</p> <p> CX - I am a stock issues judge. I will accept Kritiks as long as Aff Case properly bites it and the logic is solidly established. I enjoy a good Counterplan. Speed at your own risk... clarity is preferred. If I'm not writing, you're going too fast.</p> <p> LD - I am an old school values debate judge. I expect a proper framework (Value is the ideal your case upholds, Criterion is the weighing mechanism for the round). If you choose to take a non-traditional V/C or framework option, explain it to me well enough that I can actually do something with it. Speed is a very bad idea in LD - Consider me a Comm judge with a flow pad. Jargon doesn't impress me in LD. Logic, rhetoric, deep philosophy, and passion do.</p> <p> PF - Public Forum is intended to appeal to a wide audience. It is patterned after a TV show. I don't flow when I watch TV... don't expect a rigorous flow in PF from me. Convince me of your overall point of view is valid. Do so by making logical, well constructed arguments. You can leverage common knowledge if it is truly common. Pathos > logos in this event.</p> <p> Underview - Decorum, then logic, then rhetoric, then appeal to my preferences. Do this, and you're golden. Both sides doing this is Nirvana. I haven't been in a state of Nirvana in 15 years. Make the effort anyway.</p>

<p>I am the head coach at Kingston High School and have been involved with the program since 2007. In judging LD: I hate speed when it affects your ability to speak clearly. I want to hear what you are claiming and I like to be able to understand and assess what your arguments are. I love philosophy so I don't mind hearing interesting philosophical arguments. I don't hate theory, although I would rather hear you discuss the actual resolution unless there is a compelling reason to run a theory shell. I'm pretty flexible really. Speed is my main annoyance. I like some clash. I pay attention to how you speak. Avoid using filler words. <br /> </p>
