Baldwin,+Marie

This is my first year of judging debate. I've judged mostly public forum (both novice and varsity) and a few LD rounds. I was not on the debate team in high school so the exposure I've gotten this year is the sum of my debate experience.

In general:
 * I'm ok with some speed, if you enunciate. If I can't understand you, I'll put my pen down and stop flowing.
 * I like a logical flow of evidence with clear ties to impacts. Don't just tell me facts, tell me why they are important to your argument.
 * I'm impressed with debaters that can calmly and respectfully counter the other team and conquer with logic over emotional slander.
 * High speaker points go to those that can talk to me, not at me. Be authentic, relaxed, and have empathy toward me rather than just reciting facts.
 * I appreciate good summary speeches that hit the highlights of why I should vote for you and why your arguments and impacts outweigh your opponents.
