UIL Speech Judges

Rounds judged: 0
Judging approach: Stock Issues
Policy priority: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Evidence philosophy: Quantity of evidence and quality of evidence are of equal importance
Paradigm: I am a stock issues judge. I like to see T arguments and DA’s but with the DA’s there must be a link, brink, and impact. If the participants are going to speed read, then it must clear, understandable and comprehensible for everyone. I like to see a clash between the opponents because it allows for a fun and competitive round. One thing I wish to not see in rounds are K’s and Counter Plans. During the round, make sure to be organized and make a road map so that I can know what you will be running. Be sure to state the attacks once the speech has started. Do not just read cards, make sure to show how it links into the cases. When the Negative provides an argument, the Affirmative must counter the argument or it will lead to a win for the Negative. Connections must be drawn by the participants, not the judge. Tell me why I should vote for you and how the arguments presented flow. During rebuttals, provide an impact calc.
