Central+Gwinnett+HP+vs.+Houston+County+MW+-+Westminster+Round+1

 Neg - Ban Social Service CP, Nuclearism K, T- Title XX, Immigration DA, Poverty K** 1AC- Your clarity and speed are pretty good. In my opinion, the plan text probably needs to be rewritten and you should look for a new solvency mechanism- look into the Harris v. McRae Supreme Court case – the evidence is much better than just your generic plan. You need to be reading Hyde uniquely key to solving these advantages – your overpopulation advantage can easily be solved by an advantage CP. 1NC – You need to be cutting updates for you uniqueness arguments – you can’t just accept the camp files – those articles are (at best) from June. Immigration numbers are released monthly. You are reading a lot of defense of warming in the 1NC – you can save this til the block. You don’t need these arguments if they don’t read warming good / defense. 2AC – you need to make sure that the laptop is not blocking your voice and muddling your voice. Your Immigration block needs to be specific to your aff – at the top of the flow, you need to use your conceded patriarchy advantage to outweigh. The next thing you do is create some easy defense off your aff to weigh against the disadvantage. The 2AC pushes you farther behind than you should be as the aff in this debate. You need to have a defense of your social service as the answer to the Ban CP. 2NC – It is pronounced – Bo-dree-ard. You need an overview on the top of this to include wy the representations / imagining of the impacts is bad. The framework you do read doesn’t need a new sheet. You can just read this on the flow since they are not reading a lot. The one thing you really aren’t doing is explaining why the K is enough to win the ballot and why the ballot should be used to reject the aff. 1NR – You never need to extend the CP text – it operates just as the plan text – and only exists as long as the argument does. The top of the 1NR seemed like you were just rereading the 1NC shell. You also don’t need to extend the mutual exclusivity part of the Cp – you can cross apply the warrants of these 1NC arguments on a permutation, but there is no need to extend the arguments in an overview. 1AR – Orders are important. You need to express confidence in how you start the speech. It will help the flow of your speech. When going for the theory, you still need to answer the 2AC arguments – you do a good job however extending your arguments. I’d probably want more warrants and reasons as to why dispositionality is bad. Kicking out of your reps is severance – especially in the 1AR. This strategy should be employed in the 2AC if you are really going for it. You need to also preempt the answer that the damage has already been done. You don’t need to apologize to them – you need to be arguing why patriarchy comes before your nuclear war reps. You need to concede that patriarchy doesn’t cause war – that it just causes women’s rights loss. The 1AR was kinda shaky – you need to be doing more practice debates – maybe just mini debates on disadvantages to help you cover more offensive positions in your time. The biggest problem with the 1AR is the under coverage on T. You should not put the Topicality flow on the bottom of the speech. You get to it with about 10 seconds left – just enough to extend your measly “we meet.” Five minutes on T in the 2NR will easily win this round for the negative. You need to be doing some type of limits and ground work, working on how the impact of Topicality doesn’t matter and/or isn’t large. 2NR – Again with the order- as the 2N- you need to how you are going to wrap up the debate for me, don’t bother saying “immigration might be on bottom.” If you don’t think you can win with it, why go for it – or why think about going for it. The 2NR needs to be 5 minutes of T. 2 Minutes should be spent answering their “we meet” – it’s their only answer. You can generate two minutes of offense against their we meet if you have a better 2NC. You also need to be doing impact analysis on T – why is their lack of topicality a big impact? What does it do the topic? The debate community? However, your analysis on the K isn’t bad. You are doing the only impact analysis really in the round – you’re doing comparative analysis rather than just lone neg analysis. This is a great skill to have and to utilize – you need to probably start doing this in the 2NC. The benefit you have is that you addressed framework – which they concede, you need to realize this. When you are going for more than T or the K, you run out of time- it’s inevitable – this is a problem because you can’t adequately explain to the judge why you should win. 2AR – Going for Theory isn’t a 30 second issue. You need to spend all your time as to why dispositionality is the most illegit issue ever. You need to be impacting education over everything. All you do is extend your 2AC block. The word voter means nothing if you do not explain it. I don’t understand how your apology solves your representations. Doesn’t that justify me going into the hall and screaming offensive items and then saying sorry –and it means no one was hurt? That’s ridiculous. Your apology, if its going to be weighed, actually needs to address the negative’s framework. You never address why representations matter. You need to work on speaking drills outside of reading – this comes in practice rounds / mini debates. You should be fluent when talking about your aff – you sound parched and out of breath.
 * Central Gwinnett HP (Henry/Pack) v. Houston County MW (Morrison-Alvarez/Wilbanks)**
 * Aff- Hyde Amendment (advantages: overpopulation, patriarchy)


 * __RFD:__ I vote negative in this round for a couple reasons. I think that although the negative doesn't impact topicality well, the affirmative doesn't address the issue. I think that the negative barely does enough for my ballot on T. In a world where I don't evaluate topicality because of the lack of impact analysis, I would vote negative on the Reps K. The affirmative never addresses as to why reps comes first - the affirmative's reps are enough to outweigh any advantage the aff gets.**
