 * Round 1**
 * Judge:** Rinda
 * Speaker Position:** 2N
 * Comments:**

__Speaking__
 * -** Great speed and clarity - good emphasis

__2NC__ - I thought your 2NC was excellent - you did not rely too heavily on blocks and you used 1NC evidence well to respond to the 2AC. - You should have spent more time on your alternative, in terms of explaining it and why your role of the ballot should come before they have access to the case. - You should have kicked the counterplan and the disadvantage. Taking a counterplan, disadvantage, and kritik for the 2NC is too much, and it was clear you were going for the kritik, so the 1AR didn't even spend much time on the policy arguments.

__2NR__ - The 2NR lacked the focus that the 2NC had. Towards the end, you made a lot of new arguments that were not very relevant. I think you should have spent more time on your overview. - You should have gone to case in the 2NR, and explained how your kritik turned their impacts. - You need to spend more time framing the debate - you need to flesh out your alternative and role of the ballot more, and explain why they cannot leverage their case and why their case doesn't matter.


 * Round 2 **
 * Judge: ** Arnett
 * Speaker Position: ** 1A
 * Comments: **

1AC

That is how you read a 1AC. 10 more cards and I'll really be happy.

1AR

Extend conditionality-they didnt close the door Politics-Need more here given vulnerability on case. More on link turn. Answer impact assessment. Kritik-Answer each impact and link argument in overview. Answer VTL sooner, making me nervous Perm-HSR rail not capitalist watch out for jumping around-perm then framework Envt-read HSR argument-indict their impact Alternative 1) cant access affirmative 2) Transition wars Root cause of violence-explain economy/oil dependence arguments as better links into violence. Oil dependence is also a good example of how the perm solves the worst parts of capitalism.


 * Round 4**
 * Judge: Arnett**
 * Speaker Position: 1A**
 * Comments:**

1AR

T-give example of what their Arg is reallt talking about Case- Obama-U-be more specific 2AC evidence and indicting their evidence, more impact arguments e.g. warming K-Perm extension first---go through link evidence and show why the perm solves Beat all the impacts-environment, violence Answer value to life/ethics More Alternative-Inevitability, destroys all infrastructure, etc Redo-2 more cards

Round 8
Andrea judging Neg v. Emma and Alex- Climate adaptation

__2nc__ Should make the UQ debate on elections as much about the economy, spending, and independent voters as possible since that’s your link- undercuts the 1ar's ability to say the UQ overwhelms the link with all the other arugments you made (like Obama cant lose on Fopo, people think Romney is incompetent) On Dedev- its not just that the DA turns climate- dedevelopment SOLVES climate- the aff just sort of protects us from the effect of warming while the DA actually solves it

__2nr__ Extend case arguments- had the time for sure- you spent a long time on some politics args that you could’ve gotten through quicker like why nuke war is bad Answering the transportation thumper- yes, its about magnitude of link- but also TIMING- past spending irrel- must hold line now Bottom docket is made up and it doesn’t take out elections anyways- this session ends before the election Think biggest place for improvement is the impact calc- need way more on turns the case- Russian relations turns climate, trade, terrorism…

Judge-Arnett Neg vs Chris and Harry
 * Round 10**

2NC

Privatization-need to address argument that private sector bad at solving long term impacts. Focused on short term business interests not key. Politics-Intrinsicness, Turns the case e.g. trade, multilateralism Split case with 1NR so can better shut the door on these two advantages

2NR

Make sure you know all the theory arguments in after the 2AC. Add this to the check list. Should evidence for these Russia turns the case arguments. Need to leverage CTBT more as a hegemony turn. Intrinsicness-Need to do more when making new arguments. Hegemony-Be careful about no impact arguments that might take out impact to DA. Need to be better on dropped arguments like forward deployment will collapse inevitably. Trade. Be careful about being all in on a turn, especially when you're saying the DA turns the case.
