- __//** Debate is a communication activity, your job is to persuade and convince **//__ not just to spew words for 90 minutes and expect me to stay attentive. - Always default to clarity over speed, especially during the beginning of any speech (I cannot stress this enough) **I will yell "CLEAR" twice,** **After that do not expect me to flow your speech**.  If there is a fundamental barrier preventing me from flowing you and I am attempting to convey this issue and you still refuse to listen for whatever reason .. - attempt to connect with me, you are trying to persuade me -1NC should label the 1NC offcase positions while signposting (1st off is T *read T shell*, 2nd off is the K *read k shell*, etc.) - The 2AR/2NR should be slower than any other speech, In a very good last speech i should be able to distinctly hear every word in the speech. -Slow down on the (Counter) Plan text, T shells, Theory shells and alt text.
 * How to get good Speaker Points **
 * - ****I** //**take into account how much time you put in an argument and how much analysis when making a decision**//, that being said, if you only spend 5 seconds extending an argument in the 2nr/2ar dont expect me to put much weight on it.

- I think my threshold for T and Theory is somewhat high (might be because I lean more to reasonability) this doesn’t mean I won’t vote on it but you have to prove the abuse. - At the end of the debate I need a clear articulation of what the violation is. - I think reject the argument not the team arguments are pretty strong on theory, if you make this argument for the counterplan there still should be offense against the case. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">- Also have a really high threshold for Theory and tend to err neg on the following: <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">- I have a lower threshold and err aff for the following <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">- I put hardly any weigh on most specification arguments, unless there is a full concession there isn't a reason to extend it in front of me.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">- These are good <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">- Make DA turns case arguments <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">- Good impact calculus in the 2nd rebuttal.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">- Explain the alternatives, how that interacts with the aff/ the rest of the K ( how it solves the impacts of the K) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">- Framework needs in depth fairness and education claims. I need reasons why hearing/reading your kritik is good for the activity/ really important for us to learn about in this setting. (especially when reading a k aff.)
