"Who is the judge? The judge is God. Why is he God? Because he decides whether I win or lose, not my opponent." - //The Great Debaters//

A few things to know about me
 * I never debated in high school or college
 * I have philosophy degree and have taught college level philosophy courses
 * This is my second year judging (I judged HS and college debate last year at a couple of tournaments)
 * I am from the great state of Wyoming where traditional debate reigns supreme. It is what I know and what I am familiar with.
 * Ks, Ts, CPs, TOC, progressive style, spreading - it's all foreign to me
 * I do not like rapid delivery (anything over 200 wpm is rapid)
 * I appreciate clear speech with well explained ideas
 * What I call flowing is what you would call note taking
 * I have a god complex, i.e., don't try to argue with me after I have reached my decision for the round even if you think I am wrong, which I won't be

I judge debate because I like judging things (and I am a supportive parent who was asked to help, but mostly because I like judging things). I have judged debate, spelling bees, cooking contests and human worth. I make judgements all day about people, events and ideas. I am an armchair quarterback and backseat driver. I never pass on an opportunity to judge and look forward to judging you.
