1 - Theory - 1AR Paradigm ComboTournament: Grapevine Classic | Round: Doubles | Opponent: Strake Jesuit KS | Judge: Samantha McLoughlin, Devin Hernandez, Truman Le Interpretation: Debaters may not justify 1ar theory is dtd, no rvi, competinginterps, no 2n theory paradigm issues , and it’s the highest layerViolation: its all in the underviewStandard: Infinite Abuse - their norm justifies the affirmative auto winningevery round since they can read a risk free 1AR shell with DTD and Competinginterps which I cannot answer since the theory shell since they make paradigmissues like evaluate the theory debate after the 1ar in the 1ar. And since I don’t have 2n paradigm issues I can’t contest it. Even if I try to uplayer the shell and read meta theory to get an out in the 2NR I can’t since your shell is the highest layer and nor can I go for paradigm issues like reasonability to gut check the shell since you denied that as well. Even if they don’t they can read 500 risk free shells which no rvi/neg theory mess over. Norming is an independent voter since justifying the value of debate necessarily justifies the norms of the activity being good in order for debate to be valuable.Fairness is a voter and comes first – debate’s a game that needs rules toevaluate it which is proven by wins, losses, and speaks – they concede it cuzthey want you to evaluate their arguments fairly.Drop the debater – there’s no argument to drop and punishment is key to deterfuture abuse.Use competing interps – reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention sincewe don’t know your bs meter and causes a race to get away with ‘reasonable’abuse.No RVIs – a) illogical – you shouldn’t win for being fair – it’s a litmus test forengaging in substance, b) chilling effect – giving RVI’s will deter people fromreading theory since they will be scared of large dumps on the shell whichmeans we can never check real abuse 2NR, c) topic ed – prevents 1AR scriptingand allows us to get back to substance after resolving theory.This shell comes first – the aff advocacy affects a larger portion of the debatesince it determines every speech after it and pre-round neg prep. | 9/12/21 |
1 - Theory - Must Read EverythingTournament: Grapevine Classic | Round: 4 | Opponent: Westwood AG | Judge: Samantha McLoughlin Interpretation – Debaters must read everything that they want to be relevant in the round. To clarify, all analytics and definitions must be read in order for it to be relevant on the flow in round.Violation – In the 1AC speech doc – they list definitions under their advocacy that they never read but they "defend"Standards:1~ Infinite Abuse – their model of debate justifies putting any number of things in the doc that they no longer have to read ranging anywhere from preempts to plan texts to aprioris. Kills fairness since I don’t know how these arguments affect the round until I’ve already conceded them.2~ Prep Skew – I have to waste all my prep time looking at the doc, reflowing things, and making clarification questions because I flowed off of what you spread and not the doc, which kills my ability to make good substantive and strategic decisions which kills education.3~ Norming – debate is intrinsically a speech act – they set a bad norm that opens the floodgate to making debate simply an email chain instead of an actual debate. Outweighs because it destroys debate as an activity which is a prior question to all argumentationDTD – The skew already occurred since I predicated offense on what was in the doc | 9/11/21 |

3 - NC - Util v2Tournament: TFA State | Round: 4 | Opponent: Clear Lake IM | Judge: Asad Ahmed The standard is maximizing expected well-being. Prefer it:~1~ Actor specificity: util is the best for governments, which is the actor in the rez. Governments must aggregate since every policy benefits some and harms others, which also means side constraints freeze action. Actor-specificity comes first since different agents have different ethical standings. Takes out util calc indicts since they’re empirically denied and link turns them because the alt would be no action.~2~ Ethical frameworks must be theoretically legitimate.

Vote neg:1~ Fairness – post facto topic adjustment structurally favors the aff by manipulating the balance of prep. They can specialize in 1 area of literature for 4 years which gives them a huge edge over people switching topics every 2 months – this crushes clash because all neg prep is based on the rez as a stable stasis point and they create a structural disincentive to do research – we lose 90 of negative ground while the aff still gets the perm which makes being neg impossible.2~ SSD is good – it forces debaters to consider a controversial issue from multiple perspectives. Non-T affs allow individuals to establish their own metrics for what they want to debate leading to ideological dogmatism – our argument is that the process of defending and answering proposals is an benefit of engaging the topic.3~ Small schools disad: under-resourced are most adversely effected by a massive, unpredictable caselist which worsens structural disparities. Inclusion is an independent voter – you can’t debate if you can’t participate which is a prerequisite to accessing their benefits and ensures everyone gains from the activity.4~ TVA –The impact is fairness—a~ it’s an intrinsic good – debate is fundamentally a game and some level of competitive equity is necessary to sustain the activity, b~ probability – debate can’t alter subjectivity, but it can rectify skews which means the only impact to a ballot is fairness and deciding who wins, c~ it internal link turns every impact – a limited topic promotes in-depth research and engagement which is necessary to access all of their educationUse competing interps – topicality is question of models of debate which they should have to proactively justify and we’ll win reasonability links to our offense.Drop the debater because dropping the arg is severance which moots 7 minutes of 1nc offenseNo rvis—it’s your burden to be fair and T—same reason you don’t win for answering inherency or putting defense on a disad.They can’t weigh the case—lack of preround prep means their truth claims are untested which you should presume false—they’re also only winning case because we couldn’t engage with itNo impact turns—exclusions are inevitable because we only have 45 minutes so it’s best to draw those exclusions along reciprocal lines to ensure a role for the negative, DTT on impact turns -allows us to get back to disucssion under their ROTB if they win that comes first | 9/12/21 |
SO - T - MedicineTournament: Grapevine Classic | Round: 4 | Opponent: Westwood AG | Judge: Samantha McLoughlin Interpretation: Medicines is a generic bare plural.

It applies to "Medicines" – 1~ upward entailment test – "reduce IPP for medicines" doesn’t entail that IPP should be reduced for everything, since we could still have the same IPP for music 2~ adverb test – adding "generally" to the res doesn’t substantially change its meaning because reduction is universalNebels def outweighs 1~ He intended to define in context of debate resolutions 2~ Even if his is wrong, VBI is very large in debate and people read Nebels definition when prepping so it’s the expected definitionViolation: They spec ''' but there are many other medicines – Thousands in the USFDA 20 ~November 2020, accessed on 9-8-2021, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, "Fact Sheet: FDA at a Glance", https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/fda-basics/fact-sheet-fda-glance~~ Akaash Vote Neg:1~ Semantics outweighs: A~ Topicality is a constitutive rule of the activity they agreed to debate the topic when they signed up B~ It’s the only stasis point we know before the round so it controls the internal link to engagement.2~ Limits: Speccing a medicine subset of medicines creates functionally an infinite caselist of affs since they can combine any permutation of medicines in the world and there’s no universal disad to all of them since each has its own different use situations and benefits which explodes the neg prep burden and makes any stable links impossible. They get to cherrypic their offense and choose medicines where mines are uniquely bad. It also kills clash on the affirmative flow because if I don’t have ground and am not prepared, I can’t clash with the aff page. Clash o/w since it’s the only point of debate.3~ TVA – read the aff as an advantage to a whole res aff. PICs don’t solve – it’s absurd to say neg potential abuse justifies – leads to infinite aff abuse.Paradigms1~ Drop the debater on T, since deters future abuse and DTA would be incoherent.2~ Procedural fairness is a voter and outweighs their aff a~ it’s an intrinsic good – debate isfundamentally a game and some level of competitive equity is necessary tosustain the activity, b~ probability – debate can’t alter subjectivity, but it canrectify skews which means the only impact to a ballot is fairness and decidingwho wins, c~ it internal link turns every impact – a limited debate promotes in-depth research and engagement which is necessary to access all of theireducation. D~ aff claims are left untested when the round is unfair because I have to wait time reading T to check abuse3~ Competing interps on T – A~ topicality is a yes/no question, you can’t be reasonably topical B~ norm setting – reasonability is arbitrary and invites judge intervention C~ reasonability causes a race to the bottom.4~ No RVIs: 1~ Encourages theory baiting and chills checking real abuse. 2~ Illogical b/c don’t win for being fair and logic is meta-constraint on arguments b/c comes lexically prior.5~ T before 1AR theory – A~ any neg abuse is mitigated by the fact that they weren’t topical B~ outweighs on scope b/c 1ac abuse affects every speech after.Don’t vote on Impact Turns1~ We should experiment with ideological opposition – reading T is a good thingeven if its false because it makes us test a multiplicity of strategies from manydirections and refines good methods.2~ They can’t win on an impact turn absent justifying an RVI because they’restill operating under the model of theory3~ Dropping the debater is overcompensation that doesn’t solve theirimpacts—impact turns prove the interp is bad, not why my speech act was bad | 9/11/21 |

Jurisdiction is a voter since the judge can’t vote on the aff if its not topical2~ Limits : they open the door to an infinite number of affs – from any condition to any time of restriction. Each one becomes its own new aff which explodes our prep burden. They can cherry pic specific time frames that we get for the aff leaving us with no ground, which kills fairness.

Vote neg1~ Stable Advocacy: 1AR clarification delinks neg positions that prove why specific medicines are bad by saying it doesn’t fit under their definitions of medicine– wrecks neg ballot access and kills in depth clash about specific medicine. IE, If I read marijuana or opioids they can just delink and say they aren’t medicine.2~ Prep Skew: I don’t know what they will be willing to clarify until CX which means I could go 6 minutes planning to read a disad and then get screwed over in CX when they spec a different definition of medicine. This means that CX can’t check because the time in between is when I should be formulating my start and waiting until then is the abuse. Key fairness because I won’t be able to use the strat I formulated if you skewed my prep and will have a time disadvantage.Preround doesn’t solve either – a~ you should be held to what is in your doc b~you didn’t even send a full doc so I don’t know what to ask c~ o/w on norming since its more verifiable to just have it in the doc.Paradigms1~ Fairness is a voter – debate is a game that needs rule to evaluate it, and outweighs on reversibility since we can’t undo a unfair decision.2~ DTD – The round was already skewed, and Dropping deter future abuse by punishing heavily. Also, there is no argument to drop.3~ Competing interps – Reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention and a race to the bottom of questionable argumentation – it also collapses since reasonability operates on an offense-defense paradigm4~ No RVIs – A - Forcing me to go all in on the shell kills substance education which outweighs on timeframe, B - discourages checking real abuse since I have to go 1 off theory and you can dump on it which outweighs on norm-setting C - Encourages theory baiting – outweighs because if the shell is frivolous, they can beat it quickly D – its illogical for you to win for proving you were fair – outweighs since logic is a litmus test for other arguments | 9/11/21 |
