I debated 4 years at Desert Vista High School (fall 2007- spring 2011), 2 of those in CX I currently debate for the University of Texas at Austin (fall 2011 - ongoing)


 * Major bullet points**
 * Don’t tool your partner, It will be reflected in your speaks
 * Cross Ex is important, I don’t flow it but I pay attention.
 * I only look at evidence if it is contested or explained well in the final rebuttals.
 * I flow on paper, go a little bit slower on theory if you actually want me to judge it accurately (or care about it).
 * I don’t take prep for flashing unless you take an egregious amount of time


 * Specifics**

I like T debates but don't assume I'm knowledgeable about the popular interps on the topic. . Try and avoid a 2nc having a wall of arguments without referencing the 2AC.
 * T**

Impact Calc is key. If you don't do it I'll fill in whatever I think is likely or I'll let my mind wander before consulting evidence that was only extended in name. - I default to offense defense, but can be convinced to vote on zero risk of a DA (assuming the necessary work is invested). - I don’t have any strong views on CP theory, but if your only offense against a CP is theory, I would highly suggest you pay attention to the relevant bullet point above. - I won’t vote on a double turn unless it is pointed out. - I won't kick a counterplan for you unless you tell me.
 * DA/Case/CP strategies**

Don't assume I know your lit base. Impact out roles of the ballot (explain what arguments they affect). Remember that I flow on paper when planning your overview.
 * Ks (aff/neg)**

I am open to not having a plan, or advocacy statement. I prefer teams engage the direction of the topic, but that isn’t necessary. If you're going for framework or answering it make sure to specify what type of education is important.
