Mike Sadler Weber State University ‘12 Davis High School ‘10


 * I do not debate for Weber State University but I did do policy debate at Davis High School for 4 years.
 * This is my first year Judging, so I haven’t fully developed my philosophies. What I do think has developed through my debate experience.
 * I’ll really vote on anything if you explain and contextualize it well enough. (if they concede and you didn’t do enough work to justify the vote, I’m a little hesitant)
 * I’ll vote on T if the 2NR is winning the T debate at each level. They really need to be non topical or at least shady in their topicality if your going to go for it in the 2NR (duh)
 * I'm okay with theory, but be winning it at each level, to do that there kind of needs to be real abuse or a real violation. I’m hesitant to vote on a process CP. But am more willing to accept the negative’s conditional advocacy as long as there are not to many of them.
 * I don’t have experience with performance but give me a reason to vote and I will.
 * I like a good K but that doesn't mean I won’t vote on a CP/DA. If you do run a K, explain it well enough to justify the vote.

I make the majority of my decision out of the 2NR/2AR. The more clear the reason to vote for you the more likely I am to vote in that direction. This makes clarity, structure, and contextualization to the round important. A good line by line makes it easy for me to keep a clean flow as well as a clean vote. In final, I will be very disappointed if I have to make links myself and fill in your blanks. If I had to do this, I probably wouldn’t, and you probably would get voted down.
