Assistant Debate Coach at Warner Robins High School since 2006 Debated for Northside High School (Warner Robins) 1997-2000 Debated for Mercer University 2000-2002 Have been judging since 1999 Have judged about 20 rounds this year My preferences are very simple--I like good arguments. The only things in debate that are not debatable are the speech and prep times. I have a fairly high threshold for theory. Kritiks are cool. Disads require specific links, internal links, and justified impacts (don't run generic camp crap--Mead '92 is a horrible impact card and you should feel bad for using it). I tend to give leniency to the affirmative on Topicality. As a negative team, give me some sort of counter-advocacy to the case--kritik or counterplan. PICs must have specific solvency evidence for the affirmative case. Line-by-line argumentation is a necessity. Keep the round organized.
