Round 1 - July 18

 * Judge:** Linda
 * Speaker Position**: 1N


 * __1N Comments __**
 * 1) Speed/clarity issues with constructive or rebuttal: **Good job being louder and more confident – but you can still be even more loud and confident!


 * 2) Recommended Drills: **You should practice emphasis and volume when you do speaking drills. You should also do these drills for extended periods of time so you can practicing maintaining this emphasis and volume throughout the entirety of your speeches, not just the beginning of them.


 * 3) Assess use of evidence in constructive and rebuttal: quantity, quality, and comparison: **
 * Author qualifications – good job extending the credentials of your authors. But you should also make comparative statements and indict their authors as well.
 * You need to diversify your 1NC attacks on their advantages – for example, on the hegemony advantage, you read a lot of impact defense, but you could have read a few less cards on that area (since they were all pretty similar) and read cards on their internal links.


 * 4) Strategic Choice and Execution of Block/1NR: **
 * You need to spend more time on their internal links, particularly on the hegemony advantage. The problem is that these arguments would technically be new in the 1NR, so you need to use your existing impact defense arguments to take out their internal links. For example, your Ikenberry impact defense card that says there is no violent transition, because institutions check violence, can also be used to make the argument that this is the reason why they don’t get their rails and steel key to hegemony internal links, because institutions are the only things that matter in the new world order.
 * On solvency, you should do a better job of picking and choosing your arguments. I don’t think your CO2 construction turns are particularly persuasive, so you should spend more time on other areas.
 * You need to go more in-depth on case. Instead of simply extending 1NC evidence, you should do more comparison of evidence and warrants, and make more distinctions to get you ahead in the back-and-forth debate.


 * 5) Rebuttal Re-do suggestions: **
 * Give your re-do with the above suggestions.

Round 9
Andrea judging aff v. Shamita and Joseph

1ar-
Undercovered the line-by-line on the K--- make both the case and the fowrk shorter--- didn’t need all of that on the fowrk- just extend that you get your impcats, that the judge is USFG, fairness, and pol making/role playing is good education- ans their epistolomgy

Block dropped a bunch of args- you at least need to extend those- but also the perm, xtn kills val to life, war turns the alt, rejection fails, cap not root cause of aff

WHY is Bloomberg more qualified-- include the warrant, what is wrong with their author?

Judge: Arnett Aff vs Alisa and Nathan
