Round 1 (Neg/1N) Judge: Mariah Donnelly:

- good job on the road map - You are fast but you need to slow down on the tags at least on the first few- you go just as fast on the tags as you do on the cards - You handled cross-x very well and knew your arguments/evidence - Thank you for pointing out the cleanliness of the bus is irrelevant - Good explanation of the cap K - Make a BIGGER deal out of the dropped arguments- you want to win don’t you, then tell me why this means you should?

6.27.12 - Round 2 - SOX - (2AR) vs. Symone and Sam

Puffles, when you are delivering your 2AC, don't start so fast from the get-go. This is hard for the judge to flow because they are not yet used to your speaking style and it also means you start a little more unclear. You don't have to start slow, just slower. This is especially relevant when you end your speech 30 seconds early. Your 2AC has a good amount of offense, especially your analysis on case. Also, when talking about the budget dis-ad, talk more about the internal link considering your case has the same impact as the DA. CTBT was good.

I don't know what the add- on gets you? How does it outweigh the neg impacts and interact with your other offense. Is it necessary when you're winning your other offense? Things to think about. Also, during your 2AR, be less defensive. This means being a better storyteller, especially when going through your impact analysis.

6/28/12 - Spend less time identifying arguments (for example, "They say X" or "Extend X") - you do it inefficiently - Choose your arguments and manage time more wisely - New impact arguments are not particularly useful - stick with impact overviews: "The Affirmative has won the debate because they are ahead on timeframe and probability, which is more important than magnitude; TF and Prob o/w bc of X, and we are ahead on a) TF bc ... and b) Prob bc ...  tourney rd 2 edstrom   1n puffles-some of the privatization cards get redundant. we don’t need to know that every company is doing it, only that they can. don’t forget things like links to information technology etc. it’s more than just planes being faster, it’s the idea that they make the operation of the airplanes more efficient, smoother, and altogether more ignorant of certain processes that are valuable. for example, the planes navigate themselves instead of a controller looking at the radar with his/her EYES. so far, this 1NR is really good. time efficient and effective. you need a specific link argument here. alt and impact is good, but you have to assume the 1AR will try to go heavy on the link debate, especially since you turned their kellner evidence.
