Judge's Name: Maxey, Jake High School Graduation Date: 2014 Judge's e-mail: jaxeydb8@gmail.com Experience: - Coach a team - High School debater - College debater - Frequently Judge Rounds Judged this topic: 42 Judge Paradigm: Tabula Rasa Rate of Delivery: 5 Fast Quantity of Arguments: 3 A moderate number Topicality: 3 Moderately Counterplans: 1 acceptable Generic Disadvantages: 1 acceptable Conditional Negative Positions: 1 acceptable Debate Theory Arguments: 1 acceptable Kritik arguments: 1 acceptable Overall judging paradigm: Do whatever you want, I will vote on any argument.* I vote based on my flows, think 'tech over truth.' This means that good analytics/spin can trump evidence. As an FYI, since this seems to be the norm of most debates rounds that I have judged this year, tagline extensions are not sufficient. For example the phrase, "The plan causes a trade-off" is not good enough, it needs a warrant like "because X agency has says they don't have enough manpower to do [plan] and [DA scenario]" ** Beyond that I don't care how you chose to debate - have fun, be smart, and know the difference between assertive and rude.

Ethics Statement: Agree
 * Reverse voting issues, racism, gay-bashing, rape, (ect.) good are things that are not arguments
 * "extend the link" isn't even a tagline extension and I have no problem totally disregarding them
