0 - Contact InfoTournament: Any | Round: Finals | Opponent: Any | Judge: Any Here's all my contact info in order of how likely I am to respond: I'll disclose to the best of my ability, but if there's something specific you want from me, just message me personally and I'll do my best to help you out. Most of all, I just want to have a good round, so if there's something insufficient about my disclosure practices, please just ask me before the round and I'll do my best to comply with the interp. This can also include any specific interps you would like me to meet before round, such as "Must Specify X" and spikes on top, or even any trigger warnings or pronouns so we can make the debate as comfortable as possible for both of us. | 3/10/22 |

MA - T - ATournament: TFA State | Round: 2 | Opponent: Westside SY | Judge: Holden Bukowsky TA~ Interp - the aff can't defend a subset of press organizations in which objectivity is prioritized over advocacy. The article "a" implies a nonspecific or generic reading of the phrase "free press".Walden 20 Walden University ~The Writing Center provides a broad range of writing instruction and editing services for students at Walden University, including writing assistance for undergraduates, graduate students, and doctoral capstone writers~, ""A" or "An"" last modified July 14 2020, https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/grammar/articles SM B~ Violation – they only defend the Red GuardC~ Vote neg—Semantics outweigh:A~ Topicality is a constitutive rule of the activity and a basic aff burden, they agreed to debate the topic when they came to the tournament.B~ Jurisdiction — you can't vote affirmative if they haven't affirmed.C~ It's the only stasis point we know before the round so it controls the internal link to engagement, and there's no way to use ground if debaters aren't prepared to defend it.1~ Limits:A~ Quantitative – there are literally millions of organizations that can be considered a free press – unlimited topics incentivize obscure affs and kill reciprocal prep burdens which are key to well researched clash, especially since there's no universal DA because each press organization is different.B~ Qualitative – spec allows them to cherry-pick small aff biased subsets which kills equitable neg ground and encourages a race to the fringe of the topic away from the core topic literature.2~ TVA solves – read the aff as advantage to a whole-res aff.3~ No PICs offense – potential neg abuse doesn't justify aff abuse because that would permit infinite 1AC abuseT is DTD – A~ their abusive advocacy skewed the debate from the start B~ DTA is incoherent because we indict their advocacyUse competing interps on T – A~ topicality is a yes/no question, you can't be reasonably topical, B~ only our interp sets norms — reasonability is arbitrary and invites judge intervention, C~ reasonability causes a race to the bottom of questionable argumentationNo RVIs – A~ Illogical – fairness is a burden – they can't win for following the rules, B~ Chilling effect – abusive debaters get really good at the RVI debate and bait theory which means infinite abuse goes unchecked, C~ Substance crowdout – prevents 1AR blipstorms and allows us to get back to substance – we only have this tournament for the topic. | 3/10/22 |
