 * Experience**:

I have been out of the debate world for about two and a half years now and am just beginning to judge again, mostly through LAMDL. If anything, I think my time away from debate has given me a much higher academic standard for arguments and quality of evidence.


 * General**:
 * Run whatever you want.
 * Prep time stops when the flash drive leaves the computer
 * I will be objective as possible. Any biases listed below probably will not effect my decision in any way.
 * Defense is underutilized and undervalued


 * More Specific**:
 * Counterplans**: Consult/Conditions cps are cheating and illegitimate. This doesn't mean I won't vote for them or even that they shouldn't be run, especially if they have specific solvency advocates. Just be ready to defend their legitimacy. Conditionality is good, but I might be persuaded otherwise. PICs written specifically for the plan make for good debates.


 * Kritiks**: I've run a lot of them. I'm familiar with most of the literature. A criticism should criticize the aff, not just the world as a whole. Make it as specific as possible.


 * Topicality**: It's a voter. Impacts in context of the aff will mean better speaker points and lessen the chance of intervention.
