I like straight up substantive on case argumentation.<br />
Openness to critical/performative styles <strong>of</strong> debating:<br />
Not a fan.<br />
Any additional comments:<br />
Gov must establish a decent prima facie case. Opp must attack this case trying to win<br />
topicality significance solvency or disadvantages or claiming a better counterplan Claims<br />
should be supported with facts, analysis, statistics, some forms <strong>of</strong> pro<strong>of</strong>. CLASH in<br />
debate is good. In rebuttals I want to see voting issues claimed and weighted versus the<br />
opposition. Showing knowledgeability about the resolution is viewed very favorably.<br />
Showing ignorance <strong>of</strong> the resolution is viewed unfavorably.<br />

Background <strong>of</strong> the critic:<br />
I competed in both parli and policy debate (8 years). I have directed the NAU forensics<br />
team since 2005.<br />
Approach <strong>of</strong> the critic to decision-making (for example, ad<strong>here</strong>nce to the trichotomy,<br />
stock-issues, policymaker, tabula rasa, etc.):<br />
I am open to a variety <strong>of</strong> interpretations. The upper left section <strong>of</strong> the flow (definions,<br />
burdens, etc.) is very important to me. Too many debaters simply say "net benefits"<br />
without explaining what that means. I like specific and unique burdens/criteria.<br />
Relative importance <strong>of</strong> presentation/communication skills to the critic in decision-making<br />
:<br />
If an audience member can't decode a message appropriately, any decision-making would<br />
be based on partial or unclear information.<br />
