I'm a lay-judge parent of an LDer who goes to Atlantic High School.

1) Speed: Don't go fast at all and speak clearly. If you go fast, I will not follow what you said, and being that I vote off of who convinces me of their side the most, me following what you say is pretty important.

2) I do NOT like any progressive argument- no theory, K's, plans, counterplans, etc. Keep it old school- a nice philosophical debate.

3) As stated earlier, I vote off of persuasion. I do not flow intently but if it is pointed out that you dropped an argument, it will be weighed- regardless of how obscure or ridiculous the argument may be. If the flow is upheld for the most part by both debaters, than I vote off of whoever persuaded me the most- it is debate, after all.

4) I'm not strict enough on the flow to catch every little detail, but I do follow the big picture.

Have fun, be nice, and have a good moral/philosophical debate and you'll be sure to win my ballot or at least have good speaker points!
