I debate for Needham High School in Needham, MA and graduated in 2007.


 * Generally speaking, I'll vote for anything so long as there is a coherent logical chain that links back to the resolution. I don't require that debaters use a traditional value/criterion structure so long as there some sort of clear standard for the round (i.e. a burden structure)
 * It is very important that I see weighing done at the end of the round
 * It is the debaters' responsibilities to make sure that their arguments have clear claims, warrants, and impacts. If an argument lacks any of the three necessary components, I reserve the right to not consider it when making my RFD
 * If a debater wants to use an a priori argument, I require him or her to provide a reason why I should allow the argument to come pre-standards
 * I'm not a fan of speed, but I can follow it as long as the debater is clear
