Judge adaptation used to be the number one on my team's top ten list for winning rounds. Nowadays, too many people think that MJP removes the need to adapt to judges. Well, if all you ever get is your 1s... I would remind people that, the better you're doing in a tournament, the less likely you are to get a 1, because the highly prefered judges go to the bubble. If you're down none or down one, you're getting what's left over. Handling different sorts of adjudicators is an ability only the best debaters really have. And more than that, I would say that the key thing in any public speaking situation is to know your audience and address them appropriately. It all starts there.
