I debated at woodlands (tx) for 3 years, qualifying for tfa state all 3 yrs and clearing at several bid tournaments my jr and sr year. I’m now a freshman at ut austin.


 * I try to be as tab as possible. as long has an argument as a claim and warrant, I'm open to voting on it.
 * I don't have a whole lot of experience w/ dense philosophical frameworks aside from reading them occasionally at locals, so I'm prob not the best person to evaluate framework debate if that's your thing.
 * slow down on tags, author names, interps and plan texts.
 * I read mostly theory and larp-y positions my senior year, so that's what I'm most comfortable evaluating.
 * plz add me to the email chain- derekyu9[at]gmail.com
 * extra speaks if u bring me food

**theory**
 * default to competing interps > reasonability
 * default to drop the arg > drop the debater
 * default theory > k


 * k**
 * i'm not wholly familiar with some of the more obscure authors, but I think I have a solid grasp of the generics. this isn't to say that I won't vote off of these lesser-known authors, just plz make sure to explain the crux of the argument more than you might normally do.
 * I don't really have a set expectation of what structure your argument has, just make sure that it has warrants and you're good to go
 * cool w performance, rap, singing, etc, just make sure it's clearly explained
