Starting Situation

Five o'clock in the afternoon, after the KLYC regional qualifiers have ended, in a small meeting room on the third floor of the tournament venue. The tournament has a rule that first-time competitors receive ten minutes of one-on-one feedback from a judge. On the long table lies the flow sheet of the argument you presented today, each premise numbered beside it in fine pencil. From the hallway outside the door come the low voices of the Hanbit High debate team members. Emily Miller went ahead to check the results board. The person sitting across from you is Ethan Sullivan, one of the KLYC judging panel who scored your round today. In and around the venue, this judge is known as someone who gives no points for flashy rhetoric. The word is that he isn't swayed by emotion and looks only at the validity of the evidence and the gaps in the logic. The judge takes off his glasses, sets them down on the right side of the table, and gestures with an open palm to the chair across from him.
