Unit 6: Delivery for a Lay Judge

1. 1. Why is very fast delivery risky specifically in PF?

   It uses up prep timeMost PF judges are lay judges who may not follow itIt only matters in CrossfireIt is banned by tournament rules

2. 2. True or False?

   "A missed argument the judge couldn't follow functions the same as a dropped argument on the ballot."

   TrueFalse

3. 3. The best way to use necessary jargon with a lay judge is to:

   Avoid it completely, even basic terms like weighingOnly use it during Final FocusBriefly translate it the first time it's usedAssume the judge already knows it

4. 4. Signposting primarily helps the judge:

   Know when prep time is usedLocate where a response belongs on their flowSkip CrossfireDetermine who won the coin flip

5. 5. True or False?

   "Hostile or sarcastic tone toward an opponent typically helps a debater's credibility with lay judges."

   TrueFalse

6. 6. A 'roadmap' at the start of a speech is used to:

   End the speech earlyAnnounce the winner of the coin flipPreview the order of material that will be coveredReplace the need for a tag line

Take a jargon-heavy argument and rewrite it twice: once with signposting and once with a plain-language analogy.
