Judge's Name: Fischer, Tiffany A High School Graduation Date: June 2000 Judge's e-mail: tiffany@worldlinkcomm.com Experience: - Coach a team - High School debater - College debater - Frequently Judge Rounds Judged this topic: 27 Judge Paradigm: Policymaker 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: I will defer to policymaking, but am comfortable with most any style the debaters choose. I prefer students treat each other with a high level of respect - be nice to other teams and your partner.

I debated in high school and college, so I am familiar with most of the generic DAs, CPs, and Ks. I am fine with performance teams that use elements other than spoken word (songs, dance, poetry, etc) to support their arguments.

You should avoid extending taglines and authors without also mentioning the warrants of your evidence. Speed is fine, but you should be clear. I don't take prep time for flashing or roadmaps, but if you say you're flashing, then you and/or your partner shouldn't be prepping.

Direct clash is important to me - explain how your evidence/argument is preferable to your opponents, and I believe the debaters should present overviews and weigh issues in rebuttals (timeframe, probability, and magnitude), and ultimately tell me how to vote - I strongly prefer not to have to decide what impact is more significant...that's your job.

Tag-teaming and prompting is OK, as long as it's not excessive, however, it is fair game for education arguments.

Most of all, I want the debaters to enjoy themselves and learn something. Ethics Statement: Agree
