Kristen Poff Randolph High School (NJ)

I am the debate coach for Randolph High School in NJ and I have been judging PF and LD for three years. I consider myself a traditional judge, so please keep the following in mind:
 * Not a fan of spreading, so if you are unclear, I will not assume your new extrapolations are true in later speeches if I didn't have the argument flowed originally
 * I don't have much experience with Theory/T, so don't read it unless there is a very clear abuse story. Still, a full explanation of the implications of your theory argument is necessary for me to evaluate it.
 * Same goes for Kritiks, but if you decide to read them, err on the side of over explanation.

Things that I like/get better speaks:
 * Good argument comparison
 * Weighing
 * Voice inflection when speaking (monotonous spreading is not enjoyable to listen to)
 * Respecting your opponent
 * Dominant CX's without being rude

Try to learn something new, and have fun!!
