Savannah Allen

I debated at Grapevine High School. Graduated last year.

I come into the round without personal bias towards any side so don't let a possible personal affiliation influence any case positions you'd like to run. l'm likely to accept it.
 * Presumptions**

Speed is okay but clarity is a MUST. If I stop flowing, you're doing something wrong. Slow down and speak clearer. I ask that you slow down significantly when reading cites/tags/VS's so I can maintain a properly structured flow. This will benefit both of us.
 * Speed**

Important. Make sure to link every argument back. I won't necessarily do it for you. Make sure to annunciate when stating your standards, tags, authors, ect. If I don't hear it, then your proceeding argument is unlikely to hold as much weight as you'd like.
 * V/VC's/Standards**

I like cross apps. Definitely use them if its convenient but be sure to tell me where to flow.
 * Cross Applications**


 * SIGN POST SIGN POST SIGN POST.**

Go for it
 * CP's**

Be really organized
 * Framework**

Go for it but be explicit on its functionality.
 * Turns**

I don't like debaters running theory just for the sake of running theory. It's lazy. I probably won't vote solely off of it unless a true violation occurs and it is ran well.
 * Theory**

Be organized, clear and straightforward.

Do not be rude. I hate rude debaters. I have a soft spot for the underdog/new debater so if you are clearly dominating the round, keep in mind that I pay attention to your demeanor in regards to your opponent. This won't affect the W/L on the ballot, but speaks are sure to suffer if you decide to take this route.
 * Attitude**

I'm generally pretty nice when it comes to speaks. Be VERY clear and organized. Don't go way to fast. Be considerate of your opponent.
