 * What paradigm best describes your approach to debate?**

The aff must prove their case to be topical, and to have significant advantages over the status quo.
 * What do you think the Aff burdens should be?**

The negative must prove why the affirmative is not a solid policy option, or why it should be rejected. They must apply their arguments as specifically to the case as possible.
 * What do you think the Neg burdens should be?**

I prefer quick, rather than fast, although I am comfortable with either. Please punch tags.
 * How I feel about delivery (slow vs. fast)?**

I feel generic Disads should have as specific links as possible, and the links should be explained well. CPs are a great negative strategy, but I will listen to CP theory. On Kritiks I generally don’t know the literature very well, so explain your links, impact, and your alternative.
 * How I feel about generic Disads, Counter Plans, Kritiks?**

A good case debate is fantastic to judge. Please make your case attacks as specific as possible, and explain the story.
 * How I feel about case debates?**

PLEASE tell me why you win and weigh the round. I prefer good analysis of evidence rather than a massive flood of evidence. Impact calculus needs to be well done. I prefer not to vote on theory unless there is in round abuse. (I feel this happens on most abusive strategies). On Topicality, please keep the line-by-line clean. I err aff on topicality, so explain the violation and ground lost well.
