Judge's Name: Lukas Hosford High School Graduation Date: 2011 Judge's e-mail: hosford.lukas@gmail.com Experience: - Coach a team - High School debater - College debater - Occasionally Judge - Teach a high school class Rounds Judged this topic: none Judge Paradigm: Tabula Rasa Rate of Delivery: 3 Moderate Quantity of Arguments: 1 Few, well developed Topicality: 3 Moderately Counterplans: 1 acceptable Generic Disadvantages: 3 sometimes acceptable Conditional Negative Positions: 2 usually acceptable Debate Theory Arguments: 1 acceptable Kritik arguments: 1 acceptable Overall judging paradigm: My first priority is the potential of debate as an educative and interactive activity. I like to leave the decision up to the debaters as much as possible, but my thresholds will inevitably be affected by my predispositions. If you want my favor, read good arguments, at a comprehensible speed and clarity in a way that consistently and technically clashes with your opponents. Some hints on arguments I am likely to find unimpressive: politics disads, tradeoff disads, ultra-generic critiques, critiques you can't explain. Some arguments I am likely to find impressive if well executed: in depth case debates, well researched and reasoned impact turns, complexity critiques, any innovative or intriguing arguments.

Make me think you are an active and live subject in debate.
