Background: I debated for 4 years at Robbinsdale Cooper High School, and graduated in 2013. I’m currently an assistant coach at Robbinsdale Armstrong High School.

When I render a decision in a round, I look for the following things:
 * Be clear, you don’t need to talk super slow, but I want to be able to understand what you’re saying.
 * EXTEND. You should be clearly extending and linking this back to a criterion. If you are not doing all the parts of an extension, then that makes it difficult to use when evaluating a round.
 * Voters. They should be clearly present at the end of your 2NR and 2AR, TELL ME WHY I should be voting for you.
 * Don’t run theory. Just don’t. If there is clear abuse, you can just BREIFLY mention it as an overview, and it has to be ACTUAL, CLEAR abuse.
 * If you do a backflip in round, I will give you a 30. If you make a good reference to Greys Anatomy you will get a 29 or 30, depending on how good the reference is.
