<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">What paradigm best describes your approach to debate?_ <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">x <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">____Policy Maker _____Stock Issues _____Tabula Rasa_____Games Player _____Hypothesis Tester _____Other (Explain)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">What do you think the Aff burdens should be? <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The affirmative needs to prove that they have a good solid workable case that is supportive by a preponderance of the evidence. They need to present a workable plan that is cohesive with the case that they are promulgating. However, if you put me in a different paradigm…I’ll certainly listen and evaluate it.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">What do you think the Neg burdens should be? <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> The negative has the burden of refutation. At some point they need directly to clash with some of points made by the affirmative. They should not try to warp the round until the negative sets the grounds and topic for the debate. There should be some semblance of the initial topic choice of the affirmative. However, if all you have are generic positions that you love to run every round...go ahead and I’ll be glad to listen to it.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">How I feel about delivery (slow vs. fast)? <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I’m cool with whatever you want to do.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">How I feel about generic Disads, Counter Plans, Kritiks? <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I’m fine with whatever.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">How I feel about case debates? <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Ok.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Other Comments/Suggestions: I would love to see well warranted debates. I’m fine with whatever argumentation you want to run. However, unless you establish otherwise, I’ll default policymaker.
