<p>Debate: I want to be able to flow your debate. Speak clearly and not too fast. If I can't keep up with you, you will not win. Make sure to state your contentions clearly at the beginning and again as you move from point to point. Be polite. Pay attention while your opponents are speaking. I like a clean well organized debate. Have fun.</p> <p>Individual Events: Tournaments make for long days; I like to learn new things and to be entertained. Please refrain from swearing in your presentations. It is seldom necessary. I look forward to judging again this year.</p> <p> </p>

<p>I expect students to have a well-documented case. Tell me your sources. I want strong authority, recent data, and compelling reasoning. Presenting your own case, however, is only part of the game. Rebuttal of your opponents' case should show strong preparation and arguments supported by equally strong evidence. Finally, good arguments don't occur without clear speaking skills. All speeches must be understandable, flowable, and articulate with good road mapping and impacts.</p>
