I debated four years at Regis High School, and have judged the Harvard tournament for going on 7 years now. Remember that this is a speaking competition. The goal is to engage in a dialogue with your opponent, and convince me that your position is the better one. So, don’t speak too fast or flood your opponent with arguments. Engage with their arguments, articulate your position clearly, and tell me which arguments are most important – and why you win those arguments.
