Hired Judges

I was a four year speech competitor in college but did some debate in high school and have consistently judged high school and college tournaments for the past 3 years. Key tips:

1. Weigh your arguments and be comparative, don't expect me just to vote for you because you said nuclear war as if that is something I should just be scared of without your explanation of why.
2. Speed- Ask me before round but I would suggest no more than moderate speed.
3. Evidence- I listen to the debate, not necessarily just read from the doc so try to slow down and be clear when you are reading tags and what not but also emphasize the parts of the evidence you think are important.
4. CX- There is no need to be rude. I dont mind attitude or being direct, but there is no need to bicker back and forth.

For anything else go ahead and ask me before the round.
