UIL Speech Judges

Judging qualifications:
My Experience: I have background in CX debate and traditional LD, I am unfamiliar with progressive argumentation. LD: I'm interested in your case's overall narrative/story. You can run an off-beat framework, but be clear on how each of your contentions is relating back to that framing (and make sure framing is clear!). If you can give me that clear story, disprove your opponent's narrative, and uphold the flow, you'll get my ballot. CX: Policy maker, who has the better world. Don't spread if you can't be articulate; my pen can't flow what my ears can't understand. If the worlds aren't being explicitly compared, I will always default to who is winning the flow.  Congress: Eyes off notes, don't just read a speech. If you're able to help the flow and clarity of the session, even without the gavel, then you're in good shape. Don't bully your fellow representatives; I'm looking out for it. I'll fall back on speaker points in the event of a "tie". Be professional; be polite.
