Ava Ye - Kudos Leadership

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 :')
