Long version I have decided to copy seth gannon’s philosophy's format

It is the judge’s job to judge people Clarity is cool Speed = words per hour Should is the past tense of shall FSPEC The 1nr is a constructive, which means no new arguments. Save it for the 1ar. Presumption is towards whoever is on the left A tropical plan is good It’s called the p.t.x. DisAD It’s called the nuk WAR DisAD People are rocks Speaker points are—like this list—mostly arbitrary Theory is a reason to reject the theory argument but nothing else Disads should be intrinsic Sink-or-swim (the concept) Debaters should flow <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Text competition <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">ASPEC <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Most impacts are true <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Conditionality <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Berube votes neg <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Rock Genocide is a bad thing <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It’s called the EXTinction DisAD <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Jack Mcgougan (the idea) <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">In means within <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">OSPEC <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Functional comp <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Animals are people (I just don’t get this anthroposomething K) <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">There is always a risk <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Unconditionality <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Debaters use too much jargon
 * <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Thoughts about debate, from those which I most support to those which I most oppose: **
 * <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">[100% agree] **
 * <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I should flow ****<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">[50-50 agree] **
 * <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">[1% agree [there’s always a risk!]] **


 * <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Slightly shorter but still larger than medium version **
 * <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Everything is up for debate before the round except for these rules: **
 * 1) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">1. The better debater always wins.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">2. Winks determine speaker points.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">3. Flowing is arbitrary.
 * 4) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">4. Racism isn’t ok—I’ll call “Racism” three times and then stop flowing all the race
 * 5) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">5. Classism isn’t ok—I’ll call “bobo” twice before I stop flowing all the classists.
 * 6) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">6. Clarity is good, but speed is better. I’ll call “slow” three times before not flowing you and giving you an 16 (note: this speaker point number will always be however old I am).
 * 7) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">7. This is good pump up music but only if you watch the high-quality music video too
 * 8) <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">8. Debate occurs. (unless I am told by the tabroom.com that the debate does not occur)

Everything else is up for pre-round discussion, like if critikes are allowed or if the disad outweighs and is intrinsic to the k’s. I will allow alt use time if all but one debater is in agreement.

A few more thoughts: Unlike some judges, I flow cross examination and I love a smart/effective c-x. Maybe it’s the byproduct of my being a lawyer, or maybe it's my love of you getting off your blocks and showing some killer critical thinking skills, but when you put “baby in the corner,” I dig it. I believe that all debaters will grow up to be policy makes. We are all yung policy wonks and such. Thus, the role of the ballot is to vote for who I would vote for in an election. I find myself voting on well articulated critiques. Listen, I am a pretty smart guy, and if you are a bad ass critique debater and you can explain your position and how it interacts with the debate you are in, you can easily win my ballot. Three strikes, you're out.
