CX of 1AC: Your questions are really good, but work on narrowing your CX to closed-ended questions that don’t let them further advocate their plan. Yes/no questions and ending open-ended questions with “right?” are quick ways to keep it focused.

2NC: Same as w/ Klayton: work on clarity and volume (good job slowing on tags/cites, but you’re dropping a lot of words around the time you need to breathe. Great work covering the defense on spending before you kick it. Excellent by-line on states CP but you spend way too much time reading new ev on this just to answer one aff card. Do more cross-applying and warrant analysis on States for a better time tradeoff (the bulk of the clash is on case). Yes, you’re splitting the block, but more cross-apps and extensions will get you more time for unique argumentation (more warrant analysis = less work for you in the 2NR…).

2NR: Be sure that when you’re kicking cap and discussing the aff defense on it that you frame the world the judge will be voting in (e.g. “We concede that cap is stable, so you must vote for the plan that solves best within that system.”). When you just say “they only get defense” you make the judge do too much work to figure out what the plan world looks like. Tie that loose end up—it won’t take 5 seconds… Just give me a 10 second wrap up on Elections so I have to weigh your impacts. And always, always crystallize the round for 30-45 seconds at the end. Summarize the main arguments and do your impact calc work (timeframe, probability, magnitude)—you chose to make this a policy round, after all.

Round 7—July 3rd—Logan/Anna v. Ruby/Cole—Baxter

Cole—endurance!!—breathing efficiency in the 1NR, don’t make it model your hand gestures, good use of your 1NC evidence—when you extend the dropped federalism argument set up the 2NR to win the debate, talk about why the impact outweighs the aff, risk of a solvency deficit etc.—Also talk about why the permutation doesn’t solve it—what does inevitability mean on the question of the disad?—do the double turn first, it should be pretty fast, also talk about why it’s a net benefit to the counterplan
