Karcher,+Philip


 * *Up to Date for Florida Blue Key 2016* **

Hello everybody! My name is Phil and I judge for Sarasota High School. In the round, please refer to me as judge.
 * __Short Version: __** No spreading, progressive argumentation, rudeness or offensive argumentation. Collapse and weigh at the end of the round. Summarize why you are winning and tell me how to vote and why. Most importantly, have fun!!
 * __Long Version: __**
 * I am a **__Lay/Traditional__** judge. FBK 2016 will be one of my first judging experiences.
 * Do **__NOT__** run anything progressive in front of me. This includes, but is not limited to, theory, kritiks, plans, counterplans, tricks, spikes, topicality, etc.
 * **__Spreading __**
 * I don’t understand it.
 * If you want me to flow, don’t do it.
 * If either debater does it, I will not know how to resolve the round. I will likely just vote for whoever does not spread.
 * That said, please **speak at a normal rate**. Speak **as if you are having a conversation with me.**
 * ** __What to Run __ **
 * As stated, nothing progressive.
 * Please follow a Value/Value Criterion Structure.
 * Arguments that will work best for me will be standard Util/ Impact weighing.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">If you do not weigh impacts for me, I will have to do so myself. In that case,
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Deaths are bad
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Life is good
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">High risk scenarios are a thing as long as they have a clean link story. **__This does not mean__** that I will tolerate a disad presented at talking pace.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">War is **really, really** bad.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You should have contentions that link back to your criterions.
 * I probably will not catch on to complex ethical and moral concepts. If you want me to evaluate it well, please keep it simple.
 * **__<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Speaker Points __**
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I will award speaker points based on how well you speak and present.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I probably will not go lower than a 27.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">30 if you are really above average.
 * ** __<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Miscellaneous __ **
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Be nice. This means to both me and your opponent. The debate space should be as inclusive and as comfortable as possible.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This will be my first tournament on whatever the Nov/Dec topic is, so please explain any complex things about the topic during the speeches as if I have zero background information, because I probably will.


 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;">I **<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;">__will not__ **<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 1.5;"> call for evidence.
