McPherson,+Tim

- Coach a team - High School debater - Frequently Judge I am actually more of a policy maker in terms of judging but I have an emphasis on following the rules. In the end I want to know what the best policy is and why I should vote for that policy, weighing the round is key. To win a round I would suggest you do not run arguments that you cannot clearly explain, present a clear policy, signpost well, weigh the round clearly, and follow MIFA rules. I dislike tag teaming and rudeness. I believe a debate should be presented as if you are in a court of law so spewing is not a good idea. Any questions, ask me before the round.
