It is essential that you read this entire paradigm.
====I prefer debates where there are a smaller number of well developed arguments as opposed to debates with 11 off. It means develop your arguments, and make the block small and deep, In general the team with the better explained, better developed arguments will win the debate.====

I am okay with Framework and Theory arguments as long as they are done well and not just thrown in as part of a "shotgun and Drop" strategy.
====I am accepting of some educational argument and Kritik but it has to be incorporated into the impact and advantage arguments. If you run a K or a "Temple of Debate" argument that can be used on either aff or neg without additional components of argumentation, I will find for your opponents.====

Convince me to see it your way. Better yet, explain to me why your opponents plan doesn't warrant the win AND why your way is better.
====Evidence is important but please don't make your whole case about recency. If your plan isn't posted I may ask for cards at the end of the debate. If it is posted I generally ask for cards from the 2AC and any cards that the neg uses to really try and make a case. Not a fan of card stacking. Cite and move on to what the evidence does to support the argument.====

Have fun. Learn Something and Do Your Best.
====I generally don't go into too much detail in disclosure but will address strengths and weakness in the case if asked. What you think you said and what I hear may be two completely different things and I have the ballot.====
