Judging philosophy:
I debated for 7 semesters, 3-4 of which in Open and can generally follow the debate. Topicality- Used to be awesome, now has been bastardized by blippy debate. This is just like any other argument, you can't read the taglines and expect to win the debate. Every speech should be another extension of why I should listen to that argument. K's- Once again, you have to explain these. These are also just like every other argument. You aren't going to win a DA that isn't impacted, so same applies here. Aff K's- You need to give concrete reasons why running an aff K is alright. On that same note, the negative needs to do a good job of telling me why this isn't ok. I try to look at the round in a vacuum, so please don't make me use my brain- tell me what to do. I want explanations and I am not going to make connections for you.
