Typically judges for Collegiate School (NY) or Harrison High School (NY)

This is my second year judging, however I have shadowed my girlfriend, Elysia Segal, at a number of tournaments. My judging style is virtually identical to hers (with the exception of speed) so feel free to read her profile for clarifications.
 * I tend to be more of a ** traditional ** judge. I know what you're thinking "Oh my God a traditional judge with a paradigm?". Yep. I'm traditional and I know how to operate a computer (I know, it's like finding a unicorn).
 * Don't spread, I hate it. You're out of breath, I have completely meaningless phrases on my flow... it just doesn't work out for anyone.
 * Sign posting, weighing, overviews and voters will definitely help you. I'm still relatively new so if your case goes over my head I'm probably not going to pick you up.
 * Don't run theory unless your opponent is being blatantly abusive.
 * I won't vote on ** presumption **.
 * I am very laid back and don't mind if you sit or stand.
 * If you have a speech/stuttering issues let me know (trust me I get it, more than you think). Debate should be an activity you feel comfortable with and learn from, not an exercise in making you feel awkward.
