• Background Competed all four years in high school in Phoenix, Arizona. While in high school, my main event was Lincoln Douglas but I've also done Oratory, Informative, Duo Interp, Open Spoken Word, and Big Questions. I have experience judging Public Forum but those rounds were not conducted on Tabroom. I have experience with non-trad debate and typically welcome it in the round. With that being said, if you choose to run non-trad, keep the following in mind. Before the round begins, I will ask both sides their experience with non-trad and how comfortable they feel responding to it structurally. If both sides are comfortable with non-trad, non-trad is welcome in the round. If one side is confident with non-trad and the other is only comfortable with policy style non-trad, only policy style non-trad is welcome in the round, etc. I do not care for friv theory, trix, or joke cases.Copy
• I am a parent judge, please be mindful of that.for prefs No speed Do better with contentions I highly highly prefer speaks and will likely vote you up if you speak well NO kritikal or theory arguments, I have a very basic understanding of these and it’s honestly a gamble with me Be respectful, any bigotry results in immediate 25 speaks and down vote more info The only info I have is what my student has explained to me, no previous debate experience, so I may not know debate norms I prefer disclosure, put me in the email chainCopy
• I'm a lay judge, I did some Public Forum in high school, but I'm not familiar with theory. Thus, if you use it, I might be lost. Please no spreading. Weigh your arguments and be reasonable with its impacts. And please be nice and respectful to your fellow debaters!Copy
