I have debated four years for Apple Valley High School’s LD team. The things that make me happy in round are warrants, weighing, and being a decent human being. I debated two years on the national circuit, but only competed at three bid tournaments each season. For my senior year, I decided to stay on the Minnesota locals circuit. That pretty much indicates my opinion on circuit debate.

My Favorite Things:
 * 1) Well explained warrants
 * 2) Saying “extend” then properly extending arguments
 * 3) Clearly resolved framework
 * 4) Big picture weighing in addition to engaging line-by-line

Things I Enjoy Judging:
 * 1) Traditional debate
 * 2) Policy (plans, CPs, DAs)

Things I Don’t Enjoy Judging:
 * 1) Theory
 * 2)  Ks
 * 3) Framework

Things I Hate:
 * 1) Tricks
 * 2) A prioris
 * 3) Skep

Things I Will Drop You For:
 * 1) Justifying atrocities. Ex: genocide, rape, oppression, etc.
 * 2) Making the round blatantly inaccessible to your opponent.
 * 3) Being mean to me or your opponent. Being a sassy is totally okay. If you're not sure where something crosses the line, it probably does.

Misc.
 * 1) You can read off your computer.
 * 2) You can sit.
 * 3) You can use your phone as a timer.
 * 4) I’ll get annoyed if flashing/email chains take more than a minute.
 * 5) You can spread so long as you’re clear. I’ll say clear once.
