Chang.+Max

Debated for four years at Whippany Park High School in New Jersey from 2005-2009 and spent time on both the national (northeast) and local circuits. Judged in 2010-2012 at Stanford, Cal, and New Jersey districts.

Speed: I haven't judged in a few years so please be reasonable with your speed. I will signal if I want you to slow down. Do not go fast just for the sake of going fast. If you are going fast, you’d better be making new arguments and not just repeating or rewording previous arguments. Please slow down and enunciate card names and tag lines.

Theory: I used to have a very high threshold for theory, but after judging a few tournaments on the west coast, I realized that it is extremely prevalent and I might as well get used to it. That being said, I'd still prefer to hear a substantive topical round.
