I am fine with any and all arguments that you would like to make, although I will definitely find you less persuasive and
less credible if certain arguments, such as disadvantages and topicality, are lacking in the proper structure. I am a flow
judge, meaning that if you lose me with poor organization, I will be far less likely to vote for you simply because I can't
be expected to remember every argument in the round, let alone where to put those arguments on paper. Dropped
arguments will certainly play a major role in my decision calculus. Speak super-fast at your own risk. I'll try to keep up
with any speed (and likely will be able to), but there is always a chance I'll miss something due to speed. I will try not to
intervene, but if there is one scenario that consistently leads to me to take matters into my own hands, it is lying in
debate rounds. Nothing frustrates me more than lying. Another major frustration for me is foul language. Repetitive
swearing is completely unnecessary, a poor strategic allocation of time, and harmful in the professional world for which
debate is supposed to be training you. Assuming all goes well so far as dropped arguments and organization are
concerned, I will be making my decision based upon in- round impacts, so be sure to explain why your arguments are
important to the round."
