I should be fine with anything you read, if the warrant for every argument is explained in a manner that I can understand and in a manner that does not prevent your opponent from understanding your argument. This means several things: Be clear if you are going to spread, I’ll say clear like 5 times, won’t deduct speaks unless it’s obvious you aren’t changing anything. If you do spread, flashing, emailing, pocket-boxing, or providing a paper copy of your case to either me or your opponent upon request is mandatory, and you will lose the round if you cannot do this. Do not under any circumstance spread against anyone that cannot understand/flow speed or you will lose. If you are a traditional debater, feel free to go at whatever speed you are comfortable with, this activity isn’t about how fast you go it’s about how good your arguments are. I’ve dabbled in pretty much every form of LD debate, and as such have developed some ideological preferences towards certain arguments. The following should help you prepare for a round in a hurry. Performance/Narratives < SV FWs/ Winter and Leighton etc < Kritiks < Theory < Util/LARP/Generics < FW/Tricks. I’m pretty easy on speaks and you should get at least 29 provided you do the following: Win (if you lose but do the rest, congrats on at least a 28.5). Be relatively clear (A little unclarity is fine if you fix it when I tell you to). Be nice/funny (Jokes are appreciated, but if you have no sense of humor, don’t force anything and just be a nice person). Give clear overviews (Conversational pace or a little faster, cover the flow, isolate important arguments and go for those things first). Collapse to a few voting issues as opposed to going for everything and making me resolve it. Demonstrate a thorough understanding of either the topic, or the position you are reading."]

Making new arguments against an opponent's case is more persuasive than just referring to one's own points and redirecting the judge's attention there, as it generates new offense on the flow instead of just extending old offense. The same also applies for defense, where one should ideally present reasons as to why an opponent's attack is wrong instead of just insisting that one's own point is correct \"just because\". The frame-work level debate is often less important to me than the contention level debate, but will still influence my decision if one can effectively prove why their framework is superior or why they also uphold their opponent's framework."]
