Hello, I am an experienced Public Forum judge. I am in the process of learning how to flow. Here is what I am looking for in a round:

1. Define your terms 2. Frame your arguments in a manner that appeals to a citizen judge. 3. Use strong sources to validate your claims. 4. Weigh arguments 5. Drive home your impact during Final Focus

//Things I love:// Humor Really nerdy positions that involve higher-level math and science Statistics Explaining how standards function logically in the round Grouping arguments Turning arguments Exposing contradictions

//Things I hate:// Telling me what LD/CX/PF/SC Debate is supposed to be (bad theory arguments) Telling me that something is "against the rules" (bad theory arguments) Debaters who do the "things I love" badly Speeches I can’t understand Strategies that rely on the opponent missing something Unimportant constructive arguments that are then blown up in rebuttals Jargon Misunderstanding economic theory STUDENTS WHO ARE RUDE AND NASTY!
