Hadsell,+Nick

I am a sophomore at Houston Baptist who went to Keller HS, where I debated locally for 4 years in LD. Other than maybe two tournaments (Grapevine and Colleyville) a year in high school, __I have little to no nat circuit experience__, though I am familiar with some of the norms after going to TDC before my senior year of high school (and shamelessly watching rounds on youtube, of course).

--Speed is fine. Try to not spread tags and analytics. That would be nice. --Disclosure is good. I know wikis are not a norm on the local circuit, but at least flash, email, or give paper copies. Something. Also, don't run disclosure theory on someone that is obviously less experienced. --I am cool with just about any argument. Just explain yourself well and don't run anything with the intent to offend someone.
 * __General__**

__**Framework**__ Cool! Run it. I don't have a preference for any particular format (V/C, critical aff, etc.), just explain phil //well,// especially if you're running something obscure. (SN: I have yet to read up on Wilderson, though I think I generally understand what he's saying. Sorta. Just thought I would throw that out there).

__**Policy**__ Cool! Run it. You won't lose on the "LD is a values debate so no policy" argument. You may freely larp.

__**K's**__ Cool! Run them. I have a decent grasp of K lit, but since this is usually where some really dense arguments are being made, really try and be intent on clarifying the literature. Don't just come in and--WILDERSON10UNFLINCHINGPARADIGMATICANALYSISDOVERTHROWPOLITICALAGENDAOEFJWELK;FMEOF;JWE;IOFJWEFW.

__**Theory/T**__ Run this if you there if you have a legitimate argument for abuse. I wasn't the best tech debater, but I don't want to hold anyone back from trying to run these arguments because they are necessary to prevent abuse. Again, I really wasn't a good tech debater, I may not be able to evaluate theory well (though I'll do my best). With that being said, as long as you explain yourself well, you'll be fine. I default competing interps. Give me some kind of action if you win the theory debate. If you need further clarification on this, ask me before round.

__**Speaker Points**__ As unhelpful as this sounds, speaks will be given based on how well you debated and how you act in round. Run fun arguments, have good in-round strategy, be nice, and have fun!.
