I'm here in eyes, fall at the isle, our school and is A M. And I'm here this early because we're having a session with a school in South Africa where members from the speech and debate team, including me and my friend Amar, we're going to teach them debate online. So a great part of being a member of a species debate teams. So it's a great opportunity to have some volunteer experience under your belt, and I really enjoy it. It's going to be incredibly helpful for all our students and coaches and stop out there, that one about the students. I think this could really make a difference in their experiences, debaters and the process of improving their scales. So? So we're just gonna go with two main things in this presentation. So the first one is just on the basics of judging and how you, as a judge, should be judging around and what you need to do and what you need remind full up and then the second bit off. This presentation is just why, as a debater, thinking like a judge is helpful in rounds and how that will help you do better in rounds. Okay, so there are several things that the judge should do before around start. So first it's debate is trying to becoming more inclusive community and to be sensitive people, all sexual orientations and backgrounds. Usually what you do as a judge, you have gender pronoun introductions. For example, like you just go around the room, each team like, Okay, first beaker, what your gender pronouns. Either they say like him, his hiss or like she heard hers. Debate is going also choose to say no preference. So this is just to make sure that when the debaters and judges are introducing each other that they're being aware of each other's preferences and justice can also introduced a pro down or choose not to do so. So after that, the teams and a panelist who introduced themselves when we referred to a panel we mean usually like the Group of three judges in early round that judge debate round. So you have one main judge that is a chair, usually the most experienced judge, and they have two sides judges. So the whole team of judges is don't ask the panel and also have a team's introduce themselves. We do next is that you fill the valley with everyone's names so that when you're like writing down those for speaker scores or things like that could stay organized and then you write down their bench. According to teams to the left, we usually have opening government and then opening opposition closing government closing opposition Okay, So this line is just a brief introduction on how the judge, and, like, the basics of the basics off from Washington, I hope that you enjoyed, like, having a glimpse into what we do here besides just class.
