Speed: Speed is fine as long as I can understand you (i only flow if you speak over 600 words a minute) (jk), I would most definitely appreciate it if you would slow down on the tags and clearly say //**AND**// when moving on to the next card. When it gets into the rebuttal time you can speak fast, just don't spread. The rebuttal is a time to clarify and answer arguments not time to lay new ones out. That means spreading isn't necessary.

Theory: Make sure it is a logical violation if it's not gut check worthy you probably shouldn't read it.

I don't believe in time skew theory because if there really was a time skew then one side of the debate would always have an advantage, but the win-loss record shows 50% win rate for each side so the theory doesn't exist.

Condo: I think 1 off and case is reasonable, don't be afraid to go 2 off just have good justifications if you do. Just a caution that i will be more lenient to the AFF's side if they question the necessity of you reading your off cases

Dispo isn't a thing so don't read it.

K: make sure that if the literature is abstract that you use the rebuttal time to clarify the literature, I don't read every book written by a german/french dude so make sure that what you are reading is at least logical. If you can clarify what your K is during CX by answering in a guided way i will probably give you a speaker point boost. For example, if the AFF ask you "What is the alt?" and you somehow explain the K while answering the question that's when I will give out the points. However, that being said I don't want you to go on a tangent and ignore the question asked. Don't throw out random perms and hope they drop one give me an idea as to what the world of a permutation looks like.

Debating can get frustrating especially if you think you won and the judge votes the other way. I went through that pain a lot. So I won't vote by who speaks the prettiest or has a good argument and it appears in the 2AR. I will vote on the flow and logical appeal of the arguments presented. BTW if you have any question on my decisions always feel free to ask. It is the thing I most regret about doing debate was not asking enough questions.
