1 - Contact InfoTournament: TFA State | Round: 5 | Opponent: Logan Gatlin | Judge: Ishan Rereddy NC1 DisclosureInterpretation: Debaters must, on the page with their name and the school they attend, disclose their contact informationViolation: They didn't
Prefer1~ Inclusion – Novices would have a way to contact you about your positions and learn from them and debaters would tell you before round about triggering positions that you've read before. Independent voter because inclusion is a gateway issue for debate to occur in the first place2~ Prep Skew- Pre-round disclosure can't happen if you don't have a preferable means of contact because I would never know the aff.Fairness – its constitutive to debate as competitive activity that requires objective evaluationEducation – it's the only portable impact to debateCompeting Interpretations – a) brightlines are arbitrary and self-serving which doesn't set good norms b) reasonability invites judge interventionDrop the Debater – a) it's the only way to may up for time spent on theory b) it's the only way to deter future abuseNo RVI's- a) clash – people go all in on theory which decks substance engagement b) chilling effect – people will be too scared to read theory because RVI's encourage baiting theory | 3/11/22 |

3 - Democracy SpecTournament: TFA State | Round: 5 | Opponent: Logan Gatlin | Judge: Ishan Rereddy 2: Democracy specInterp: The affirmative must define democracy in a delimited text in the 1AC.Democracy is flexible and has too many interps – normal means shows no consensus and makes the round irresolvable since the judge doesn't know how to compare between types of offense and o/w since it's a side constraint on decision making.Wikipedia, xx-xx-xxxx, "Democracy Index," No Publication, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index SJCPJG Violation – you don't.Prefer –1~ Stable Advocacy – they can redefine in the 1AR to wriggle out of DA's which kills high-quality engagement and becomes two ships passing in the night – triggers presumption since the aff wasn't subject to well researched scrutiny. We lose access to American politics DA's, Xi lashout DA's, basic case turns, and core process counter plans that have different definitions and 1NC pre-round prep.2~ Ground – not defining hurts my strategy since they can shift out as I ask DA questions, so I err on the side of caution and read generics which get destroyed by AC frontlines.3~ Real World – Policy makers will always how they are implementing a law. It also means zero solvency, absent spec, private entities can circumvent since there is no delineated way to enforce the aff and means their solvency can't actualize.DSpec isn't regressive or arbitrary – its core topic lit for what happens when the aff is implemented and cannot be discounted from policies that require enforcement to function. | 3/11/22 |
3 - MA - Peace Journalism PICTournament: TFA State | Round: 1 | Opponent: Sebastian Bourbon | Judge: Jacob Koshak Peace Journalism PIC1NC Shell v1CP Text – In a Democracy, a Free Press ought to prioritize Objectivity over Advocacy, except for instances of Peace Journalism.The CP competes – Peace Journalism is a form of advocacy journalism since it is a form of agenda-setting and framing.Hakorimana 20, Gratien.

3 - MA - T-ObjectivityTournament: TFA State | Round: 1 | Opponent: Sebastian Bourbon | Judge: Jacob Koshak T-Objectivity1NC Shell1~ Interpretation – Objective Journalism is constituted of three things: factual information, impartial and unbiased viewpoints, and emotional detachmentCalcutt and Hammond 11 Andrew Calcutt and Philip Hammond, 11 ~Andrew Calcutt, (Andrew Calcutt is Principal Lecturer in Journalism at the University of East London, where he leads Master courses in journalism and magazines. He is vice-chair of the London East Research Institute and editor of Proof: Reading Journalism and Society (www.proof-reading.org). Previous publications include White Noise: An A–Z of Contradictions in Cyberculture (1999) and Arrested Development: Pop Culture and the Erosion of Adulthood (1998)). Philip Hammond (Philip Hammond is Reader in Media and Communications at London South Bank University. He is the author of Media, War and Postmodernity (2007) and Framing Post-Cold War Conflicts (2007) and is co-editor, with Edward Herman, of Degraded Capability: The Media and the Kosovo Crisis (2000)).~. "Journalism Studies: A Critical Introduction." Routledge and CRC Press, 3-8-2011, Accessed 3-4-2022. https://www.routledge.com/Journalism-Studies-A-Critical-Introduction/Calcutt-Hammond/p/book/9780415554312 duongie Prefer –a~ Context – The resolution isn't about just Research, it's about what a Free Press should do with regards to other reporting which only our Evidence assumes – outweighs – words aren't intrinsically defined but defined with context.Cambridge Dictionary No Date "Free Press" https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/free-press Elmer b~ Intent to Define – 1NC Calcutt and Hammond are making a holistic description about what Objective Journalist Ethics entail, the ~1AC card~ is merely defining a subsection which can't constitute a model of Debate since it arbitrarily defines the limits of the Topic beyond Framers Intent to always favor the Aff.2~ Violation – the Aff only interprets Objectivity as factual reporting which isn't sufficient to constitute Objectivity – ~that's the 1AC Definition and CX proves~.If the 1AR makes a No Link or a Permutation on the CP, it proves the Violation since they don't defend an Objective Free Press as being impartial or emotionally detached, thus not meeting their resolutional burden. At worst, view this as auto-competition for our CP's and links for our DA's.3~ Standards:a~ Neg Ground – Making the Debate Facts Good/Bad is physically impossible to Negate since both Advocacy and Objective Journalists agree Lying is Bad – removing perspective, solution, and point of view Journalism, all of which are factual but disagree w/ the detached and impartial aspects of Objective Journalism destroys all Core Generics.b~ Topic Ed – Topic Lit Controversy isn't Objectivity Good/Bad BUT about distinctions of Impartial Reporting and Point of View – the Topic is about tensions between Advocacy and Objectivity which ISN'T Factual Research Good/Bad – that outweighs since we only debate the Topic for one tournament.4~ Paradigm Issues –a~ Topicality is Drop the Debater – it's a fundamental baseline for debate-ability.b~ Use Competing Interps – 1~ Topicality is a yes/no question, you can't be reasonably topical and 2~ Reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention and a race to the bottom of questionable argumentation.c~ No RVI's - 1~ Forces the 1NC to go all-in on Theory which kills substance education, 2~ Encourages Baiting since the 1AC will purposely be abusive, and 3~ Illogical – you shouldn't win for not being abusive. | 3/10/22 |
