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

- The 1NR was too spread out, and thus depth was sacrificed for breadth - Make more i/l comparisons between the aff's way of accessing an econ impact and the fiscal discipline DA - Set up turns the case args - Be more organized on case, transition between internal links clearly - Read more cards!

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

2AC -Avoid major pitch/speed changes midway through your speech -Efficiency on case---don't have to rephrase the 1NC arguments---mini-redo to get through case within 2 minutes -Diversify your arguments on the CP

2AR -Frame your impact calculus on conditionality as a reason to reject the team -Relegate certain places to answer certain things instead of making an argument in 3 different parts of the flow -Make sure your "dispo solves" argument comes earlier if a lot of the line-by-line is predicated on you winning it

Round 9---July 26th---Linda

 * __1N Comments __**
 * 1) Speed/clarity issues with constructive or rebuttal: **Your speed and clarity are fine – you just need to be louder and emphasize your taglines more.


 * 2) Recommended Drills: **Practice speaking louder and with more emphasis.


 * 3) Assess use of evidence in constructive and rebuttal: quantity, quality, and comparison: **
 * Highlight down your 1NC shells – I think your cards (specifically in the Ethanol DA shell) are quite long.
 * Make sure you get to case in the 1NC and more evenly distribute your time on each advantage.


 * 4) Strategic Choice and Execution of Block/1NR: **
 * Trade advantage
 * Better argument explanation – you need to create a better label or “tagline” for your analytical arguments and extensions. You also need to do a better job of explaining your warrants.
 * Impact out your arguments – remember the bigger picture. For example, your 2nd argument on the trade advantage talks about cross-border problems. You need to go a step further and explain this is an alternate causality that the affirmative cannot solve for, so they don’t get their advantage.
 * Politics DA
 * Overview – good impact calculus at the top.
 * What is the PTNR argument about being key to trade?
 * Evidence comparison – since the 1NR has the most prep time of any speech (aside from the 1AC), you need to use this time to read their evidence, and make indicts of their evidence and author qualifications.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Line-by-line – I like your compartmentalization of the debate, into uniqueness, link, etc… but you also need to explicitly answer their arguments. You drop a lot of 2AC arguments like “the bill doesn’t solve relations” and “the impact card doesn’t say Russia will attack”
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Internal link – you need to spend more time explaining why the bill will collapse Russia relations, and what specifically about the bill makes Russia mad.


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

 * Round 11**

2AC

Dont need to extend solvency Need an airport block Emphasizing everything is slowing you down---finding a calmer tone where you can find key phrases in cards to emphasize will make you faster Capitalism Kritk-Need some more arguments specific to the affirmative Politics---some more on point impact defense would help

2AR

Conditionality. Need to slow down and spend more time Link turn on the DA needs to be focus
