 * __ Graduation Year: __** 2010
 * __ High School: __** Elk Rapids High School


 * __ General: __**
 * Speed: ** It’s fine, but I have to be able to understand. 7 (sometimes 8) on a scale of 1-10. Plan text, tags, and sources must be read. Read clearly otherwise I won’t flow it, and that only hurts you. I will work as hard as possible to understand, but if it’s bad I’ll yell, “Clear”, keep going and I’ll set my pen down.


 * Manners: ** Debate is about being civil. Be assertive; Not mean. If you are rude/mean I WILL dock your speaks. In cx, if they say "Ok that's fine/let's move on/etc," then stop.


 * Tag Teaming and Shadowing: ** DON’T. Ever.


 * __ Arguments: __**
 * Topicality: ** If you want to do it and give me a good reason I will vote on T. Don’t make it your biggest arg though.


 * DAs: ** Great! Do impact analysis, tell me why it’s important.


 * CPs: ** These are fine. Weigh the CP against the case.


 * Ks: ** I’m not a huge fan, but if you do it well I will vote on it. If you do decide to use a K make sure you explain every part in detail. I can’t vote for you on a K if I have no idea what it means. If your K is really out there, I'll probably be hesitant but as long as you argue it, I’ll weigh it.


 * Theory: ** N ot my strong suite– you have to do the work for me if you want me to vote. If you argue, I’ll vote for you. 10 theory bullet points without arguments will not be good enough.


 * Case: ** A case debate is my favorite debate. Just remember impact analysis.


 * Analysis: ** For me analysis outweighs massive quantities of evidence. I am not here to make the argument for you.


 * New in the 2NC: ** Fine. Awesome. Great. But only for on-case arguments.


 * Time: ** I keep a running clock.


 * Paperless: ** I am NOT a fan of paperless. But since I must: If the amount of time you're taking to flash is ridiculous, I may take prep. I have no sympathy if your tech fails.


 * Organization: ** Always road map and sign post. This is extremely important. Again, I am not here to argue for you. If you don’t, I’ll dock speaker points and if it’s really bad I just won’t flow.
