I participated in Public Forum Debate in high school and subsequently coached PF for the past three years. That being said, this is not Policy debate and speed-reading isn’t going to win me over. I value clarity and persuasion in a speech, not a deluge of information that gets lost in gasps for breath. While LD is theoretical in nature, I like concrete examples that can help clarify your position and give me a realistic reason why your position is the best course of action. I like evidence but don’t vote strictly on the preponderance of it (quality is key). Cogent analysis goes a long way for me. Presenting voters and giving me the bare-bones of why you win at the end of a round is expected. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
