UIL Speech Judges

Judging qualifications:
My Qualifications are that I have judged hundreds of invitationals including District meets, Region, and Area Meets. I coach all over the country and I am an active College and High School Level NSDA, Hired Judge, and Speechwire tournament judge. I have had many students achieve anywhere from bronze at a local level to a gold medal at nationals. As for my philosophy, I am a stock issues judge, I expect the affirmative team's plan to retain all stock issues and should label them clearly during the debate. The negative has to prove that the affirmative fails to meet at least one issue in order to win (don't just focus on Topicality). I require both sides to provide offense. Sufficient evidence is needed for any claim made during the entire debate. All debaters must speak clearly in order for me to hear all of the points and must watch rate of delivery. I can't vote on what I don't hear or can't understand. I do not intervene, so the debaters must tell me what is important and why I should vote for them. I do not form part of an email chain. I do not like reading speeches. If it's important to you, make sure to explain it clearly during your speeches.
