Saaton+vs.+Satay+-+Zelmer

1AC (Saara) - The main issue with the delivery is how staggering it is. It seems like you are trying to go too fast. Once you get in a rhythm things are fine, which to me indicates that you just need to work on starting out slower and building up your speed. Especially on tags, clarity should be of utmost importance. There are issues with how often you say uhm while reading. Try to focus on that and fill any pauses with silence. Good use of marking evidence and moving on quickly.

1NC ( Satish ) - I'm pretty confident you're not reading impacts to your disads in the 1NC and given that you have a minute left you should definitely put those in. We talked about the economy as well as latin america relations impact scenarios. Read at least one of them. Your delivery is good and you are clear and not wasting much time with your speech. You could be faster, but make sure you don't lose your clarity when trying to build speed.

2AC (Klayton ) - THe first argument takes too long to make, you say the same thing 3 times about how the US isn't acting. Need beter mpx extension with more specifics of what will break down or happen absent the plan or what status quo problems the plan alleviates. Things got better through the speech with your word economy getting better as well. The off-case position answers were good, but you should also do impact comparison or at least a case outweighs argument.

2NC ( Jay ) - Remember to think about how you will SPLIT the block before the round begins or at least by the time you've thought about the content of the 1NC. Focus on doing line by line debate. You need a better solution to flowing and either separate xcel spreadsheets or separate pieces of paper to keep the debate properly organized. From there, concentrate on going line by line in the debate and debunking the other teams arguments or at least giving your best response to each argument the other team makes.

1NR - If you mess up reading the text of a card, just move on. No need to apologize or anything. Time is always important and you can never afford to waste it. Good use of transition words between the cards you are reading. Make sure you know what your partner is reading in the 2NC. You are re-reading the impact card (South China Morning Post 06). You can also benefit a lot from going line by line and directly aligning your responses to what the affirmative team has said.
