 * Judge: Mimi **

2nc: seriously slow down on analytic blocks your analysis is solid and it's smart to turn their add-on you need to think a little more before you read a card - a lot of cards for cards sake 2nr: Get beyond "they say... I say..." and into deeper analysis If you answered their arguments more on the cap k, you would have a much easier time going for what you want to (the cap k) in the 2NR Spend more time on the stuff that you're not winning instead of investing time in the stuff that you already are

--Great 2ac order—don’t know if intentional or not (case first, then args with alts, then the da’s) --theory arg—impact it more, and, force them to do it—also need to ask about the status if you want to do this Very quick—use this to your adv by reading more cards on off case arguments—you spend almost 5 minutes on case --watch the double turn on ptx --good questions about the function of the alternative—you really want these to be earlier to force them to take a stand of what the alternative does --really good 2ar with the try or die argument—why the government needs to act—just need to make sure these arguments are in the 1ar You are very persuasive at discrediting the other teams evidence—see if you can find ways to sneak in this stuff in the 2ar, ie, it was in cx, it happened earlier, so that they cant win 100% risk of a link or impact even if the 1ar doesn’t answer things
 * Debate 2 vs Lillie/Jacob **

Debate 3 6/28/12 1AC CX: Great questions! 2NC: Wow, you are very fast and very clear. Excellent. Try to be more steady in your speed – if you can avoid stumbling or saying “um” it’ll make you able to get through even more evidence. You could actually afford to slow down a little bit on the card text. It will make you clearer. Their evidence is definitely not “literally poop” haha. 2NC CX: I like the root cause arguments. 2NR: Great job – do the overview first on the K, then go to the line by line. Put the equity advantage after the K. Spend more time explaining why capitalism is the root cause of racism.

Round 7—July 3rd—Logan/Anna v. Ruby/Cole—Baxter Ruby—overview,if you do one, needs to elaborate something meta level, it seems lik you are really just highlighting 3 line by line arguments—stand up straight—tag line arguments (tag, warrant, impact)—if the link is conceded you shouldn’t need to do much work on it, but you should use it to your advantage (perm etc.)—explanation of the alt a little more, you should foreclose 1AR presses on the alternative, even if it is, as you say, conceded (I don’t think that’s true, but justify it and impact it)—pretty good overview, but stand straight up—permutation debate should be a link question--

7/5
