Practice+Rounds

toc =Practice Round Rules:=

--JUDGES: Please __#|submit comments__ to EShort (ericjohnshort@gmail.com)

--JUDGES: Whether you render a formal decision at the end of a debate is up to you--the __#|students__ are very interested in your feedback, and context determines whether a tournament round-style RFD helps or hinders that process.

--You may only read evidence that is included in your practice set and has been distributed to everyone.

--You may repurpose, rehighlight, retag, etc. that evidence.

--You may not read any off case theory arguments (analytical topicality arguments, ASPEC, OSPEC, etc) until such things are released for everyone.

--You may not change __#|the plan__ text, the counterplan text or the alternative text.

--You may only read the following theory arguments against the counterplan or the k: conditional counterplans bad, conditionality, dispositionality. (others will be allowed later, this is fine for now, don't freak).

--The affirmative should disclose their advantages and the negative should disclose which off-case arguments they are running. This disclosure should take place by 6:20. Earlier is better. (I know neg disclosure is nonsense, its PRACTICE and it should help you have prepared, thought-out 2AC strategy, that's more important for now)

--You get 8 minutes of prep. Use it wisely :) Remember that you won't always get that in Minnesota.

--KEEP YOUR FLOWS!!!

--Debates can get hard, its easy to get flustered and give up. But that is not how you get better. Try to give your speeches, try to use all your time. No one will be mean to you, we all want to see you get better.

--Debaters should feel free to ask their fellow __#|students__, staff members, and their judges __#|for help__, both in pre-round preparation AND if debaters need an assist during a debate. = = = = =Round 1: Tuesday, June 25th=
