I value clarity - please don't speak fast. Please signpost well. If I dont get your arguments down on my flow because you are too fast or unclear. You should be at conversational speed. I prefer traditional PF. I have judged before at blue key, but am not a regular debate judge so leave your jargon for another round.

I look for who is winning key clash, and weigh principled arguments over practical in most cases. It's not enough just to have evidence, you need to tell me what the larger implications of that evidence means to the overall framing of the debate.
