Brady+Zoe

__**Background:**__ I debated for 4 years at Durant High School in Durant, OK in LD. I went to state two consecutive years. I live for eloquent speakers. If you can present your points in a manner that suggests you have some kind of superior intelligence you immediately have the upper hand. My personal approach was dependent heavily on CX and speaking skills rather than framework.

I love philosophy but also love EVIDENCE. It is crucial to back up any philosophy you have if the resolution implies that it should/can be applied to the real world. Do NOT spread, if I can't understand you, I can't flow or adequately judge the round. Provide clash for God's sake. If you have no clash you have no debate and I have to judge in favor of the person that had the best framework. (If no clash is provided the Aff normally ALWAYS wins)

__**General Behavior:**__ If you sound unsure of yourself, I automatically default to thinking you're BS'ing. Do not use team cases with me, I CAN TELL. Do not yell or act snobby to your opponent, that will result in me removing speaker points. I'm stingy about them (speaks) already so I would like you to EARN them.
