 * Round 1 - July 18**
 * Judge:** Linda
 * Speaker Position:** 1A


 * __1A Comments __**
 * 1) Speed/clarity issues with constructive or rebuttal: **You are breathy and a little bit high pitched when you read cards (strangely, only when you read cards) – I think opening your mouth more and taking bigger breathes to get more air in your lungs will help out.


 * 2) Recommended Drills: **Work on pen drills and over-enunciation drills to increase clarity.


 * 3) Assess use of evidence in rebuttals: quantity, quality, and comparison: **
 * You should try to read more cards on the politics disadvantage in the 1AR.


 * 4) Strategic Choice and Execution of 1AR: **
 * Spending DA – it was a good move to extend your link turn on the spending disadvantage, but you need an impact to this, because the negative team conceded that economic decline didn’t cause war. I think you should have coupled your link turn with the argument about overstretch on the hegemony flow. The warrant of their evidence is that economic restrictions cause overstretch, which prevent military power. So you should explain how since you’ve won the economy link turn, you access another internal link to hegemony.
 * Good case debate – good job with the embedded clash and extending your impacts and internal links that they dropped at the top.
 * States counterplan – the permutation is very, very important – you have to extend it!


 * 5) Rebuttal Re-do suggestions: **
 * Re-do your 1AR with the above suggestions.


 * Round 2**
 * Judge:** Arnett
 * Speaker Position:** 2N
 * Comments:**

CX

Avoid "where in the card questions". Make your argument by using specific parts of their evidence.

2NC

Cap-Overview should be narrowed to focus on the impact section---save links for the line by line, probably on perm in this debate Framework-Kritik turns the case so this doesnt matter Perm-explain link arguments that cant be avoided by it-use evidence you already have, theory is secondary distraction for the 1AR to deal with Alternative Solves the case---debate isnt about trains Is this an impact turn to the aff or about their framing of the 1AC or both? This matters for answering their offense.

Case-extending dropped arguments "Extend 1NC 1 Megaregions fails-Our Davis evidence says "..." know the warrants in the evidence

2NR

Redo going for case and DA Cap-Too much about framework and not enough turning the case. HSR/Capitalism links and impacts.

2nc
-permute do both is not an intrinsic perm, wasted a bunch of time reading this long theory block that didnt apply -need impact calculus -need clearer description of why CPs solve- analysis of magnitude of the solvency deficit -middle east war doest "spread" to Russia and China- they get sucked into the regional war

2nr-
-kick politics more clearly and answer their econ bad now and transpo bill thumper args that they cross applied to the econ da -why didn’t go for GAO CP? Esp since there are heg impacts that you don’t have direct answers too -cover other impacts to heg that are in the 1ac in your impact calculus

Round 10
Judge: Arnett Aff vs Josh and JP

1AR

Case. Taking too much time to get through arguments like hurricanes. Read more hegemony/trade impacts. Gotta get ground back on dedevelopment. You must read a couple of dedevelopment cards here.

Round 12
Judge: Andrea aff v. Kenny

__1ac__
Tags are pretty clear- work on emphasis within the cards too __1ar__ Thought 1ar was really good—I thought the substance that you explained was all awesome, I think the thng that would most improve this is tightening up your explaination of your GPW take out--- like on the Cap K, I really liked your explaination of why you have the only assymetric impact, but then on the ports flow, you extended on your econ collapse impact to terrorism, why do you get that impact?… and then also on trade- why do you get that impact?

Really good on solvency- got through quickly- extended good warrents

On perm, use their card against them- that any failure = cap reassert
