I am currently a Junior at UW-Madison. This is my third year judging debate in LD, PF, and Policy. In high school I competed in PF. I take detailed flows during all rounds and thoroughly review them before completing the ballot; so I will remember almost everything said. I ask that cross fire is kept civil and courteous- doing otherwise will likely affect your speaker points. I will primarily evaluate the round based on how the debaters approach it and the debate that occurs. If the focus is more on debating the value and criterion, I will judge based on those arguments. If the focus is more on specific topics, I will judge based on those arguments. I do like to see some focus on the value and criterion in all rounds though, since that is the basis of LD.
