 * __2A Comments __**
 * 1) Speed/clarity issues with constructive or rebuttal: **You have decent speed, but you’ve got a case of the “debater buzz” – you need to work on clarity and move your mouth to enunciation more.


 * 2) Recommended Drills: ** You should do pen drills and over-enunciation drills.


 * 3) 2AC—technical skill and coverage for case and off-case arguments: **
 * Time allocation – I thought the 2AC was good in terms of time allocation – I think you covered everything well. Case debate
 * First, use embedded clash instead of “they say, we say.”
 * Second, I felt that the case debate was also pretty shallow in terms of warrant extension and explanation. I don’t think you respond to the warrants of their evidence correctly. For example, on the hegemony debate, you responded to their “no impact to transition – institutions check violence” evidence by only saying “America will be part of the new world order.”
 * And finally, make sure to extend your impacts! This is especially true for the trade advantage, where they did not really address your protectionism impacts.
 * Conditionality – you should definitely have put a conditionality argument in the 2AC, particularly with a component about multiple worlds because they ran a capitalism kritik and a spending disadvantage.


 * 4) Assess use of evidence in constructive and rebuttal: quantity, quality, and comparison: **
 * I don’t know how good the camp files are, but if there are cards for this, you should read more offense and more add-ons.


 * 5) Strategic Choice and Execution of 2AC/2AR: **
 * Case debate – put case on top in the 2AR to extend your advantages, particularly your impacts, and do impact calculus on why they outweigh the disadvantage. You especially need to do this to answer their 2NC impact add-ons. This is a good time to make an “even if” statement, about how even if you lose the disadvantage, the case outweighs.
 * Politics disadvantage
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Spend more time on the link debate – you need to extend your best offense (link turns) and explain why that outweighs their links.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">You also need to spend more time answering the deficit spending link, which was well-explained in the 2NR.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">You can also use your economy uniqueness arguments to your advantage – the negative has said that Obama’s platform is the economy, so if the economy is low now, and you improve the economy, there’s only a risk that you increase Obama’s election chances.


 * <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.

1nc
-say the name of your position before you start reading it- then judge knows what to expect, helps us flow to be listening for cue words and stuff -pretty clear, but you could get much faster -20 analytics in a row on the case hard to flow- need to get other cards- defense- jesse put out cards?

1nr
-Repeating yourself on conditionality- said RW a lot, congress has multiple proposals -need ov on DA -‘their link turn slower than our link- should say it like this- that’s what you mean -“ther ev less warranted”- which card, WHAT is deficient about it? Be specific

Round 10
Judge: Arnett vs Josh and JP

2AC

Case-Good job with the line by line. Work on extending 1AC evidence more specifically. Good thought on putting hegemony on bottom but consider mucking it for more time on dedevelopment. Probably want to beef up on free trade impacts given the relationship with dedevelopment. Federalism-Make a link argument. Always remember to exploit major weakness of position. Dedevelopment. Want to get more time here. Maybe from kicking hegemony. Also could kick hegemony and read an add on.

2AR

Round 12
Judge: Andrea aff v. Kenny

__2ac__
Explain why conceding no GPW doesn’t take out terrorism impact 2ac evidence all seems very short- marked them alotttt-- make sure you highlight your evidence to include the warrants Missed shift to elections- not sure if trade add on was on ptx or states CP?? Order in speech was dif than the order you gave us

__2ar__
Thought top explanation was great on the no great power war argument is great Need to explain the economy turn as even if “even if you think there IS a chance of GPW, then we have more offense in that world” Need to get through warming not real faster- obvi is real, gunna win that—spent way too long here Got to ethanol with only 1 min The "cross apply oh honey" thing is funny- that’ll get your more speaker points for sure
