I am primarily an IE Coach, however I also appreciate a good debate.
Spreading: Dont do it. It defeats the purpose of the educational nature of this activity. Speak to be heard and understood.
Organization: Be clear in your structure; show me how the arguments fit together and be sure that clash is occurring between your and your opponents arguments; roadmap your speeches and label your components.
Kritiks/Topicality: Theyre fine as long as they make sense. Dont do it to do it. Do it because it makes sense and has to do with the resolution.
IPDA: This event is meant to be distinct from Parliamentary Debate; I think about it as competing extemps; this means that style is an important component that must be utilized. You should also avoid highly technical language and treat me as a lay judge.
NPDA: You may use more technical language with me; however, this does not mean you may spread (see above).
Off-Time Roadmaps: Keep them brief.
Partner Communication: Keep communication to a minimum while each partner debates; you may pass notes, but the person speaking is the person that needs to be the one making the arguments.
Youre more likely to win my ballot if you present clear, concise, well supported and well communicated arguments and avoid heavy debate jargon.

Keep it conversational
Let me know how to evaluate the debate (i.e., provide a voting criteria)
No spreading please.
Have fun!
