hello! im ava; my partner and i debate in high school pf under flintridge prep cy. we qualled to toc twice plus nationals and state and all that jazz. i also somehow qualled to state and nietoc in parli and extemp lol
here is my partner's paradigm for reference:https://www.tabroom.com/index/paradigm.mhtml?judge_person_id=113569
ask questions/add me to the chain:24yea@flintridgeprep.org
general (this is all pf specific)
- tech>truth but tbh its easier for u to just point out untrue arguments
- frontline in 2nd rebuttal
- defense is not sticky
- extend everything ur going for in summary
- collapse
- weigh & metaweigh
- if its not in summary it cant be in final; unless its new weighing in first final
- i get carried by my partner every time we debate prog so read theory at ur own risk & just dont read Ks or anything else. a good substance round will always be the best subway sandwich
my judging habits (feel free to disregard but could be important for speaks)
- im not timing for u. if ur opponents go overtime hold up a timer and ill stop flowing after 10 seconds
- slow ev exchanges r my least favorite parts of debates so make it quick, preferably just rly quickly send cut cards before speech. also taking over 30 seconds to find a card is so sus
- every time u say judge in ur speech i pull a strand of hair out of my head. i understand this may be a habit but pls dont say it 15 times within 20 seconds/as a filler word
- down to skip grand cross if everyone is
- dont ask every single person in the round individually if theyre ready
- i know time starts on ur first word or in 3, 2, 1 just give ur speech
- bring me food
- pls do not make the round boring i beg of u
ultimately, be respectful, dont be problematic, make the round run smoothly, and have fun. cheers to an educational and enjoyable debate :')

Hello! Some background on me: My name is Kino Farr, and I am a UC Berkeley student majoring in Rhetoric. I did speech & debate for 6 years before transferring to university, so I'm an experienced judge, don't worry.
Onto my paradigm:
Keep the debate theory out of this - I know how it works, but I focus on points and flow.
Enjoy yourself - I want to see that you're having a good time, otherwise, it's no fun for anybody. I want everybody to have a good time, so just take a deep breath and relax your shoulders before you speak. It'll be okay and you'll do great.
I think that's it? Cool
