Head Debate Coach at Perry High School, Massillon, OH.


 * POLICY**
 * What to do:**
 * DAs
 * CPs
 * Good on-case arguments
 * Be topical
 * Advantages should be grounded in reality. Not everything needs to result in nuclear war, genocide, or the death of baby penguins.
 * Impact and implication matters


 * What you should keep in mind:**
 * Ks- I have a lot of experience in theory/philosophy, however, this is POLICY debate. The K needs to make sense and I do NOT believe multiple worlds exist when making a NEG strat.
 * Speed- I'f I can't flow you b/c you are too fast or unclear that is your fault not mine and I may not vote on an argument you know you made.
 * Performance- be a good sport- CX matters to me- it's binding.


 * Side notes:**
 * Appearance and good etiquette matter. The end.


 * Lincoln Douglas**
 * What to do:**
 * Fair and Equitable Definitions for a balanced AFF/NEG debate.
 * Observations in framework matter to me- you should have/use them but they should not be abusive.
 * Value and Value Criterion should make sense given the resolutions intention and your contentions should link back to the V/VC debate.
 * Contentions should be supportive of your overall argument and clear.
 * Rebuttals matter- Clash matters- be responsive
 * 2AR/2NR- make sure you prove to me why you have WON the debate not why your opponent lost. This means you do impact work with outweigh arguments.
