Carlson,+Drew

I am affiliated with Centennial High School in Boise, Idaho.  In a word, I'm tab. But you should know that's a lie--everyone has biases.
 * Spark Notes (Read this): **

Be nice, or at least not mean. Note how this is at the top.

I've judged almost no rounds on the space topic.

I debated 4 years in High School, and 1 in college (University of Arizona).

Spreading is fine. In the unlikely event I can't follow you, I will let you know.

I usually view rounds as offense/defense, unless convinced otherwise.

I have a neutral attitude toward the K.

I have almost certainly heard your K before, but assume I haven't and explain it as such. That does not mean "assume I'm stupid."

I love good case debate. Other than that, I'm pretty impartial on the various negative strategies.

If a theory debate is close, I probably won't pull the trigger unless it is the only issue in the round.

I default to competing interpretations on T unless convinced otherwise.

I think PICs are fine unless convinced otherwise.

I'm open to performance, but have very little experience with it and am probably not a good judge for a performance team.

Prep runs until the flash drive or viewing laptop is given to the other team. If you abuse it at all, you will face my wrath.
