- you sound great in the 1nc! - make sure to read cards on uniqueness and link on politics in the 1nr - good idea to read the warming impact - make sure to answer the perm first on the counterplan - it was before the solvency deficit in the 2ac
 * Round 10 (tripp)**

- you don't have to name all your off case args in the 1NC order -- "4 off and then solvency, econ, etc" is fine - if two cards make the same argument without using different warrants, only read one - when you stand up, think about how you want to phrase the FIRST sentence that will come out of your mouth during the speech -- it'll prevent stumbling over your arg
 * Round 9 (Mara)**

1AC: Great job - way better fluency, speed, persuasion, emphasis. Read full acronyms - GAO, not "Gao" Backflow your partner's 2AC!! 1AR: Avoid repetition - if you make an argument once, do not make the argument again elsewhere on the flow, just refer to it with a quick tagline. Go more in depth on conditionality - make sure you develop your arguments and answer theirs fully, if you want this to be a strategic option in the 1AR More explanation on the perm on the K. Don't just say "do both" - explain why doing both solves the links/alternative More embedded clash - you can be more efficient if you embed your references to their arguments within your answers, rather than saying "they said x, but..."
 * Round 8 - Thurs. 6/26 (Aff - Eli):**

- don’t repeat a CX questions so many times (the one about whether or not China will let the US “check” it) - refer to 2AC arguments with a 2-3 word phrase, don’t repeat everything they said - must extend standards on topicality! - Don’t ask, argue! - Begin the 2nr with an overview – why do you win if you win what you win?!?! - You need to explain in detail the story of the politics da in the 2nr – including the link to the plan and the impact. - Its too late to read Keynes bad cards in the 2nr – need to say that in the block!! Not enough time and you can’t read new arguments that blatantly in the 2nr
 * Round 5 (Tripp)**

Round 2 (Tripp) - Great CX of the 1ac - Don't interrupt your partner in CX unless you absolutely need to - make sure to answer the 2ac arguments IN ORDER in the 2nc - make more analytical arguments in the 2nc, don't just read cards - make sure to answer the politics theory arguments
