Ross,+Jony


 * Topic experience:** I have judged at least 40 rounds on this topic


 * Debate experience/background: **I did four years of debate in high school starting with PF and shifting towards policy especially during my senior year. My partner and I placed ninth in 2013 at nationals in Birmingham. I debated on the national circuit frequently during my senior year. I have been working with my high school team throughout the 2013-2014 year and am very familiar with the topic.


 * General paradigm/philosophy: ** Tabula Rasa.


 * Speed ** : 9/10. Speed is fine but I'd like to be able to catch the tags.


 * Topicality: ** I tend only to vote on T if your opponents seriously mishandle an argument or if there is obvious in round abuse.


 * DAs: **I definitely love disad debate but impact calc should be a major part of your 2NR if you are going for one.


 * CPs: ** Counter plans are cool but I'm not a fan of PIC's.


 * Kritiks: ** Make sure you understand the literature for your K if you plan on running one. I am familiar with a variety of these arguments so make sure you also have an understanding of what you are running. I love it when a team is actually passionate about their K and can not only articulate it, but appear to believe in it within the round. However with that said, it's not as if I won't vote for your K if you don't understand it. If the Affirmative team doesn't sufficiently answer it, I am still forced to vote Neg, however much I don't want to.


 * Theory: ** I'm cool with theory debates. However I prefer theory that questions the case and not the team.


 * Non-Traditional/Performance debate: ** I'm definitely down to Klown.
