Round 1
Judge: Jesse Speaker Position: 2N Comments:

__2NC__

Attack weak parts of the 2AC rather than making sure every 2AC claim is contested

Overview at the top of your DA--why it outweighs/turns the case

Treat Util as an impact framing argument rather than a theory argument

__2NR__

Start the top of your 2NR with what you'd want the first thing the judge to write if he/she voted for you

Give yourself an out if you lose util--extend your econ turns the case arguments

Anticipate the 2AR--make "even if" statements assuming arguments you know they're ahead on

Bear down on one conceded case argument instead of extending them all without analysis--i.e. why the ADA proves the case has no impact

Round 8 (?)
Judge: Arnett Speaker Position: 1A, 2A Comments:

2AC

Order. CP on the bottom is dangerous. Consider kicking some advantages or changing order at least. Good structure on case debate. Kritik-Perm-Impact it with evidence about adaptation and activism. Elections-"Tons of thumpers' is unclear what argument you're making. CP-Impact Theory arguments. Conditionality.

1AR

Trade-Keep structure. 1NC is where the arguments start. Be more specific on impact calc arguments here. Ports-they barely said anything in the block. Kritik -FMK-We need to talk about this. What are we trying to win here. -More on impact turns. The 1NR left the door open for you. -What are their impacts. Answer them specifically. What about this death drive? Elections -Structure 2AC -Need to find a place to read evidence here. -Answer the turns the case argument specifically.

2AR

Good attack on epistemology. Impact Overview-should include inevitability of violence and environmental collapse-We are impacting turning their kritik. Framework doesn't matter because Capitalism is good. Warrants for FT cause war e.g. interdependence. Good example on hegemony solves war. Organize impact turn debate more. What are the impact cards they are banking on and talk about them specifically. Explain why morality impact turns their prior question argument.

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

 * __2N Comments __**
 * 1) Speed/clarity issues with constructive or rebuttal: **You really need to work on clarity and enunciation.


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


 * 3) 2NC—technical skill and coverage for case and off-case arguments: **
 * Case debate
 * Embedded clash – don’t spend so much time explaining the affirmative’s arguments. Since you explicitly number your arguments (i.e. 1NC 1, 1NC 2, etc…) you don’t need to say “they say.”
 * Warrant explanation – your responses are lacking in depth, particularly on the hegemony debate. For example, one of your responses was “hegemony fails, a multipolar world is coming now.” But you need to explain why a multipolar world is coming now, and why that means hegemony fails.
 * Ports advantage uniqueness debate – be careful, because many of the arguments you make also take out your disadvantages, like “status quo solves,” and “non-unique – weapons detection funding increases now.”


 * 4) Assess use of evidence in constructive and rebuttal: quantity, quality, and comparison: **
 * You need more evidence comparison on case, especially on the global warming debate.


 * 5) Strategic Choice and Execution of 2NC/2NR: **
 * Politics DA
 * Kicking out of the disadvantage – you didn’t kick out of politics correctly – they still control the link turn. You have to concede that the bill will pass now no matter what (so that the plan doesn’t uniquely cause it to pass) and/or terminal impact defense.
 * Ethanol DA
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Impact calculus – you should give more reasons why water wars are especially dangerous – a good way of doing this is pointing out that many of the countries who would be most susceptible are also very unstable, such as countries in the Middle East, so wars would escalate quickly.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Phosphate module – you should definitely go for this as an external impact.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Hegemony advantage
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">No impact defense – “multipolarity is coming” is not a reason why hegemony fails. You need to extend other cards like your Ikenberry evidence to prove why hegemony fails.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Terrorism advantage – you need to extend defense to this in the 2NR.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">6) 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
Judge: Arnett vs Alex and Emma

1AR

Careful about hegemony on the bottom when there is offense there Conditionality needs more time to make threatening Ports? Big Impact with virtually no action by the negative Kritik-More impact turn and less Framework

Round 12
Judge: Andrea neg v. Harry and Chris

__1nc__
Great start- vey clear- first off Cpa K, heard every word of the first tag- starting out right! J I don’t love the ethanol DA- not a NB to the CP, need more than one infrastructure bad turn if that’s your strat The 1nc is missing the mitigation turn's second card that mitigation is key to solve warming

__2nc__ I like the link part of the OV—if more than like 2 cards, would warn the judge, might want a new piece of paper- some judges don’t care, but those who do will appreciate it-BUT much of the rest of the overview should be on the line-by-line where those arguments belong, like the answer to transition wars for example --still need to answer 50 state fiat bad if kick the CP—or at least GO to it and say kicking the CP solves

__1nr__
Extension of deficit spending turn was a little unclear: Why is your direction of the link true? WHY does spending hurt the economy (cause inflation, investor confidence declines, takes money from private sector, multiplier effect is false, it’s a net drain on GDP)--- need to include the warrants to your argument Also why does no GPW not take out this impact? Explain why water wars impact is not GPW?? Or how do you win the ethanol DA?

__2nr__
Need to explain more why water wars doesn’t get taken out by No GPW--- you can say stuff like scarcity and resource competition ruin interdependence, even if GPW's normally don’t escalate, they will if people are struggling to find water The environment impact = xtn needs to be very top impact in the 2nr, not water wars- because this impact avoids the aff's no GPW arg Say the "no GPW" arguments takes out their trade add-on You cant really win your economy turns in the last 20 seconds of the 1nr, but you still need to cover it because they have a link turn to this argument Everyone needs to be more careful about which impacts actually stand if there are no great power wars
