Bischoff,+Robert

Debate Judge Experience: 3 years Preference: Traditional; however, accepting of theory and counterplans - if they do not impugn the integrity of the debate. With respect to speed (or spreading), if it conflicts with clarity (my perception), it is a major deduction. Focus: Logical consistency of framework and contentions; ability to explain the relevance of value criterion; clarity of exposition in rebuttals; clash and extension of frameworks and contentions; summation that reflects understanding of key concepts; respect for participants, the resolution, and the debate process.
