Note:This is all for guidance on what I would like to see. At the end of the day have the debate you want to have, and I will do my best to evaluate it.
Background:Hi my name is Julian Mackenzie, I participated in Speech and Debate for a total of 9 years as a competitor and now I'm a Coach for SDSU.
- In high school. I competed for four years in mostly Interp, Extemp, Impromptu, LD, and Pufo for Helix Charter High School. In my senior year, I was a debate captain for my high school team.
- I competed for two years for the Grossmont Community College team in NPDA, IPDA and Extemp, where I won top competitor for the 2021-2022 school year.
- After that I competed for UCSD for three years in NPDA, IPDA, Pufo, and TIPDA, and I was the President of the team.
- Now I Coach and I am the Director of Debate and Limited Prep at San Diego State University. In addition I am also a assistant coach at UCSD.
All formats:
- I like Lay debate or fast and Technical debate.
- I will take any argument into consideration as long as the argument is backed up by logic or evidence.
- Both teams/competitors in your last speech please give me clear voters, so that I can make an informed decision.
- Have good clash
- Please signpost
- Please be as organized as possible tell me exactly where you are on the flow.
- Please be respectful to everyone in the round.
- Have Fun!
IPDA:
- I prefer tech over truth, but I will not accept arguments that are a lie and do not have evidence or some truth.
- Present strong, logical, cohesive arguments.
- Please speak with a clear and calm pace.
- Label each of your arguments.
- Avoid technical debate jargon.
- Keep Cases and arguments simple and clear
NPDA:
- I'm ok with theory/topicality but I think it has to be warranted.
- I'll vote on a RVI including time skew.
- I love Value and Fact rounds, so please do not define a round as policy if it does not have should in the resolution.
- K's work in Policy Rounds, run Phil if it's a value round.
NFA-LD:
- Run a good and sound plan
- Tricks are great, but please keep them at the top of the case.
- I'm ok with theory/topicality but I think it has to be warranted.
- I'll vote on a RVI including time skew.
- Share your doc with me if you are going to spread, please.
- Please have your card doc ready to show your opponent's cards
Speech:
- As for speech I judge like any other speech judge on content and performance.
- Please do not "can" your speech in Impromptu. If I find your "canning" I will place any off-the-cuff speech ahead of you.
- I will not automatically rank you lower if your speech is shorter than 10 minutes.
