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

About me:
I am currently an LD debater for Brentwood's High school team. I have qualified for and competed at NSDA Nationals (in one of the most competitive regions). I do not currently compete in PF, but I did PF for half of my freshman year and did 3 Years of Parli. I also have extensive experience in Model UN where I have competed for the past 4 years and participated at/won at over 24 tournaments across the globe.
Prefs:
LD/PF/Parli
---------I'm a progressive judge; do whatever you want; just be respectful---------
-I'm not new to debate: I won't be voting off the last speech but the big picture of the round (who has the most positive impacts).
-Weighing is very important (Value/VC) - why should I vote under your fwk? and if so why do you win under it? What is an AFF and NEG world?
-please have claim -> warrant -> impact for your evidence (I understand paraphrasing is the norm for PF, but a warrant is still necessary)
-I lean truth > tech, but I can be swayed under the right circumstances
-theory is ok, but not preferred
Congress
- I have a lot of experience in international relations, public speaking, politics, etc. (Via Model UN and Political internships)
- I have not competed in Congress, but I have competed in similar events (congress simulations, crisis committees, etc.).
- explain things if there are intensive terms that I might not fully understand
- just have fun and be respectful
