Round 9 (Tripp)
Angelica - don't talk to the computer! - make sure to answer Fiscal Discipline on the case as a DA - more than one response is needed. - try to use embedded clash on case in the 2ac!!! - CX of the 2nc is pretty good - you effectively point out the flaws of the 2NC arguments with questions. especially the "cold war" question - good argument about uniqueness on elections in the war ("day to day changes") but you need to spend much more time explaining it. - spend more time on the case winning the solvency and impacts to your advantages - you need to win solvency in order to win your link turn on elections - try not to repeat yourself in the 2ar

 * __1N Comments __**
 * 1) Speed/clarity issues with constructive or rebuttal: **You have a strong speaking voice – keep that up. Also, work on speed.


 * 2) Recommended Drills: **I recommend just practicing reading more to improve your speed.


 * 3) Assess use of evidence in constructive and rebuttal: quantity, quality, and comparison: **
 * 1NC order – always put your offcase positions on top, and then the advantages on the bottom. This is because:
 * You should always start with your offense.
 * If you don’t get to finish a few cards on solvency, it’s no big deal, but if you don’t get to finish a disadvantage (and have several cards and important parts like the impact missing), this is a big deal, because you don’t have a complete argument.
 * Make sure you have a strategy in the 1NC – don’t just throw in part of a capitalism kritik for fun because you have extra time - you didn’t get to finish the 1NC shell, so that time is better spent reading more cards on case.
 * Spending DA – you don’t have to read the economy impact, because the 1AC has already read an economy impact.


 * 4) Strategic Choice and Execution of Block/1NR: **
 * Politics DA
 * Cards – Do NOT read more cards on the politics DA in the 1NR! They dropped the disadvantage, so you should extend the disadvantage without making any new arguments. If you make new arguments, it justifies the 1AR answering them and regaining ground on the disadvantage.
 * Impact calculus – Instead of reading cards, you should explain how because they dropped the disadvantage, you win the debate. Explain how your impacts outweigh their ipmacts.
 * Case debate
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Evidence comparison – since the 1NR has the most prep time of any speech in the debate (except for the 1AC), you should use this prep time to read the other team’s evidence and point out flaws in it.


 * <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 speech with the above suggestions.

Round 9 (Mara) - make the cap K specific to the case. Extrapolate specific links from the 1AC ev and how the 2A describes the plan. Connect those links to specific impacts mentioned in your ev (environmental violence, etc). - great line-by-line, try to summarize their arg more efficiently/use embedded clash more

Round 4 (Eli) Great job "lying cheating and stealing" in the 2AR - you got your link turns back into the debate with effective cross applications - just don't overdo it and try to make too many new arguments.

Round 3 (Tripp) - make sure to label off case positions in the 1nc - you need better time allocation in the 1nr - make sure to cover - can't extend a capitalism K and an economy DA at the same time - they contradict - great explanation on politics, but try to read more cards as well - just extend politics in the 1nr, not the case as well - you don't have enough time

Round 2 (Tripp) - You can read fewer States solve cards on the CP shell in the 1nc - Make sure you don't talk to the computer! Talk to the judge - Try not to get bogged down on one line of CX questions. If they aren't going to answer, just move on. - If you are trying to turn an advantage in the 1nr, don't extend defense as well! - Make sure you go line-by-line in the 1nr and refer to the aff arguments by name and number
