I have to be persuaded that there is unique abuse to vote on topicality. I
will vote on anything as long as there is some justification for it. I won't
vote for teams who don't understand their own arguments or don't explain them
to me in a fashion in which I can understand. I leave the debaters the
opportunity to justify counterplan theory to me. Kritiks must have
implications when being first presented and they must be explained and
understood by the team running them. I will tell you when you are not clear,
but I would hope that you know your limits.
