Tournament: Grapevine | Round: 1 | Opponent: Northland Christian CS | Judge: Wyatt Hatfield
A-Interpretation: The aff must individually number all arguments in the AC. They must have three separate sections in the AC: a section where they number all framework arguments, a section for all contention arguments, and a section for arguments that do not justify the framework or link back to the framework as a contention (i.e. for spikes). Each numbered argument must only contain one argument.
B-Violation:
They don’t number all arguments in the AC (specifically, they didn’t number…)
They don’t have separate sections for the framework, contention, and spikes.
They number arguments, but some arguments contain more than 1 arg
C-Standards:
Strat Skew – I can’t form a strategy because I first have to figure out where the arguments are before I can determine what the args actually mean. Numbering and having sections is always comparatively better because then I know exactly how many arguments there are, and it becomes clear which one’s I have to respond to. Otherwise, I have to waste time figuring out where each argument is and what they justify. Strategy is key to fairness because it’s key to forming a ballot story. This also links to education because no critical thinking occurs if I am unable to respond to their args since I can’t find them.
