For cases we use speechdrop. - I don't shake hands.

 

Me: Current Coach of the University of Alabama. Former ADoD at UNLV. NFA nationally ranked. Theater undergrad. 10+ years debate experience

Ive competed in a everything, but primarily college NFA-LD and IPDA

 

TLDR: Dropped arguments can carry a lot of weight with me if you make an issue of them early. This being said, I have been more truth over tech lately. Some arguments are so bad I'm inclined to do work against it. If its cold conceded I will go with it, but if its a truly bad interpretation/argument, it won't take a lot to mitigate risk of it happening. I have responded well to sensible 'gut check' arguments before.

- I enjoy debaters who can keep my flow neat. You need to have clear tags on your cards. I REQUIRE a differentiation in how you say the tag/citation and the evidence.

- I can handle speed relatively well. I'll vote on anything but make sure the K makes sense.

 

(Questions on speed, what I mean is I can handle spreading, however if you are going so fast that you must pause mid speech and take a puff of your inhaler, you are going too fast)

 

Debate is as much much as a performative game as it is a argumentation game

 

Argumentation

Prefer standard Advantage v Disad debate but I'm fine on the K. Need in round abuse for T. K Alts that do something more than navel-gazing is preferred. Avoid running away from arguments. Actual dropped arguments will win you the round. I vote a lot on good CP/DA combinations.

 

Safety

If you feel as though you cannot continue the round for any reason and have the ability to knock on the table 3 times please do so and the round will end immediately and a discussion can occur about where to go from there. (I get it, my anxiety attacks freeze me up entirely)

I will judge the flow. Please make sure that your arguments are clear and intelligible. This is important to me. Weigh impacts.

Neg, refute and build. Weigh impacts.

Draw your arguments from quality source material. Equity, inclusivity, and diversity in your evidence is a plus. Be clear on the scope of your resolutions. I like to review sources.

Be respectful. Bad sportsmanship will lead to a reduction of points. Do not talk down to your opponents or judge.

Treat your opponents with affirming respect.  Pursue the educational value of debate as an ethic.  I have judged debates for over 30 years in various formats.  I look forward to hearing your voice on this matter.  I like good research and good delivery.
