General Comments: 1) Why is no one flowing the 2ac? Like legit no one was flowing anything. 2) People – if you want to ask your opponent’s questions about a card at least know the author or which card it is so they can answer your questions. 3) Use all your CX time!! It’s your partners prep time. There are always questions to ask. 4) Why does no one have a timer? The judge shouldn’t need to time YOUR prep. Every team should have at least 2 timers; in my opinion 3 is best, one for each of you and one for the judge who forgot a timer. 5) “case” is not an order – you need to tell me the order of advantages. 6) Everyone needs to extend specific pieces of evidence with author names.

1AC 1) Transition word needed – So you need to say either “and” or “next” or “also” something like that before every new tag so the judge knows that this is a new piece of evidence to flow. Without it the judge can be confused what is tag and what is card sometimes. 2) Need to tell me when to switch advantages so say “next is advantage 2: leadership” or whatever that advantage is. 3) You need to put something under laptop so you are higher 4) Good on speed you are clear – keep doing speed drills – good start on speed. 5) Put solvency last – makes most sense in my opinion – we don’t know what you “solving for” yet

1AR 1) Roadmap needed… 2) Good job on case – problem is there was none in the 2AC so those arguments can’t be considered. Same with your one argument on the China DA. 3) Extend her 2AC Arguments on the off-case. 4) You need to answer the CP. 5) Good analysis on political capital doesn’t matter – but you were a bit wordy this could be shorter to save time.

2AC 1) Transition word needed 2) Need to say more than on-case give me specific advantages you’re going to so I can flow easily. 3) Put case first in the roadmap – so you don’t drop anything – you need to win case first. 4) You dropped case – big problem – you need to answer ALL their case arguments – if you get lost re-explain your case. This makes it easier to spin answers in the 1AR. 5) The analytics you were reading on your off-case blocks were very wordy and hard to understand. Re-write those. (most were on politics and the CP)

2AR 1) Good job on say no argument – problem is it wasn’t in the 1ar, so I cant evaluate it 2) Need to talk to your partner – no connection didn’t extend the arguments that were in the 1AR – this is a problem. 3) Need to answer the “turns the case” arguments on the disad.

1NC 1) Do the backwards drill will help get rid of your “uh” habit. You are clear but the backwards drill will make your speech more fluid. But good speed. 2) Try to get more time on case -- it was light 3) Second card on CP is way too long (didn’t catch cite) 4) Is the China DA impact card from 1996????? Need a better updated card. 5) When giving roadmap just say how many “off” don’t tell me what off you will read in the roadmap.

1NR: 1) Don’t take 1NR prep L never good. 2) You need to tell me which case flow your on. 3) Line-by-line this is what you need to work on the most – answer all their arguments in the order they did them. You dropped quite a few 2AC arguments but did a good job re-explaining your arguments. 4) Do more impact calc work on the disad. 5) You keep repeating the phrase “neo cold-war” I’m not exactly sure what this entails or why it outweighs their impacts. Explain that more. 6) You had 30 seconds left – try to use all your time. Block Strategy – even though the aff dropped case having all of case and a whole DA in the 1nr is a lot. Move the case debate to the 2nc that fixes your time issues with extra time.

2NC: 1) Your impact calc work is really good on the DA especially the turns the case arguments – do these all as an overview on the DA makes it more organized 2) You need to do tighter line by line – you are answering the 2AC out of order makes you hard to flow as a judge. You also dropped a few 2AC arguments. 3) You had 2 minutes – you can always read more evidence 4) Do more on the external net benefit to the CP. 5) Need to answer fiat takes out the link better—it is different than intrinsicness. 6) Do more on the link turn on the da – they said “plan popular” you need to answer this more. 7) On the CP do more on the CP solvency -- how exactly does it resolve each of their solvency deficits. 8) You need to do more “say yes” work on the CP – if you lose that you lose the CP – vital argument to answer. Block Strategy – even though the aff dropped case having all of case and a whole DA in the 1nr is a lot. Move the case debate to the 2nc that fixes your time issues with extra time.

2NR 1) Correct choice to go for the CP and politics. 2) Do your impact calc/da turns the case work on a overview. 3) Explain better how the CP solves the case and this appeasement argument 4) Answer PC not real better, this is really their only 1AR Argument on politics in the 1ar so you need to spend a ton of time there.
