Round 1
Judge: Rahim Speaker Position: 2N Comments:

2NC - Divide up the block better, 8 minutes of the K, or 5 mins of CP + 3 mins of case - Flesh out the links more, you don't need to read as many cards on the K - At the top of the 2NC, do impact analysis, and more K tricks like root cause of war, turns case, environment o/ws, collapse inevitable

2NR - Put the DA on top, offense comes first - Make turns the case args - Go to the advantage case flows rather than just solvency, or do a better job of impacting your solvency arguments

Round 2
Judge: Jesse Speaker Position: 1A Comments:

1AR -Redo in which you answer the block instead of just extending conditionality

Round 8
Judge: Rahim

1a: 1) Speed/clarity issues with constructive or rebuttal: Clearer, STAND STILL 2) Recommended Drills: Clarity 3) Assess use of evidence in rebuttals: quantity, quality, and comparison: No evidence comparison done, or read. On the flip side, too many cards were referenced and not enough

arguments made 4) Strategic Choice and Execution of 1AR: This was a big block, so some of these issues are understandable. But the 1AR was slow and inefficient, which is the exact opposite of what it

needs to be. There were no places where the 1AR “dug in”, or even sufficiently answered the

blocks arguments. 5) Rebuttal Re-do suggestions: Answer turns case, be clearer and don’t drop arguments on case,

kick the trade advantage so you don’t link to dedev

2a 1) Speed/clarity issues with constructive or rebuttal: Clearer 2) Recommended Drills: Efficiency, clarity 3) 2AC—technical skill and coverage for case and off-case arguments: Needs much more

efficiency on case, needs to answer all of the arguments on case, misread the plan flaw arg as

ASPEC, must read condo, better answers to dedev (growth sustainable, solves war), add-ons 4) Assess use of evidence in constructive and rebuttal: quantity, quality, and comparison: 5) Strategic Choice and Execution of 2AC/2AR: 2AC: Above 2AR: Put offense on top. Need to actually answer the case arguments made in the 2nr, more

impact analysis on the adv, answer the turns case arguments, go much more in depth on the

disad, you functionally dropped it besides the CP 5) Rebuttal Re-do suggestions: Above.

Round 9
Andrea judging neg v. Yesha and Nina

__1nc__ Need to turn so your computer is not in between me and you- muffles your voice I like the turns to the environment that you have on each flow- though you might not want to put new capitalism arguments on each page- risk spreading out the debate and losing something

__1nr was good__ Keep the theory arguments in the order that the 2ac made them I thought your terrorism explanation in case was very good on framework- make sure it is clear what you are trying to accomplish.. is it just that your individual rejection alt is legitimate? Or are you trying to also say that they affirmative does not get to access their plan?

Round 12---July 27th---Comments by Linda Pei

 * __1N Comments __**
 * 1) Speed/clarity issues with constructive or rebuttal: **Good volume and confidence, but work on clarity.


 * 2) Recommended Drills: **You should do over-enunciation drills, pen drills, and drills in which you insert a word (like “wow” or “a”) between every other word.


 * 3) Assess use of evidence in constructive and rebuttal: quantity, quality, and comparison: **
 * Indict their epistemology – the 1NR is a good time to go through their evidence and point out how their authors are entrenched in capitalism, and how they have an economic/political motive to hype up a certain issue, even if it’s not necessarily true


 * 4) Strategic Choice and Execution of Block/1NR: **
 * Division of the block – the block division needs to be more organized and more explicitly divided. A few examples of better divisions include the 1NR taking framework and the permutations, or the 1NR taking framework and epistemology arguments on case.
 * Framework – good job on framework – the only thing I would add is that you need to have arguments why roleplaying as the USFG is bad.
 * Case debate
 * Links – make sure you isolate specific links to the kritik.
 * 1AC advantages – for example, their trade module directly links to your Smith 1NC link evidence, which states that trying to integrate other markets is part of an imperialist, capitalist ideology that leads to environmental collapse. Make sure you link all of their modules to your kritik.
 * Quotes from the 2AC – you should also use quotes from the 2AC to feed your argument – for example, when they say “no one cares about the impacts on Indians” – this is exactly your argument about racism and how capitalism obscures violence.
 * Ethics – you should spend more time explaining your external value to life impact, and how the affirmative links to it. You should point out how the affirmative advantage solvency will only affect a small elite, not the whole population, and certainly not those who need it most. For example, they increase global trade, but this only benefits a few rich people, whereas trade often leads to under-developed countries being exploited and using cheap, abusive labor.


 * 5) Rebuttal Re-do suggestions: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Re-do your rebuttal with the above suggestions.
