1 - Theory - DisclosureTournament: The Tradition | Round: 6 | Opponent: LHP Harris Layson | Judge: Sarah Botsch-McGuinn Disclosure theoryInterpretation: Teams must disclose past neg positions either in the cite box or open source on the 2021-2022 NDCA policy wiki 30 minutes pre-round.Violation: They don't – insert ss
Standards1~ Strat Skew - I cant plan out a strategy ahead of time bc you don't disclose and I have no way of knowing what you are going to read or what your past strategies are. And reciprocity bc I meet the interp u know my strat – skews strat even more and controls fairness bc I cant compensate for other forms of abuse wo a strategyAND – contact info doesn't solve a~ no way to determine if you will actually reply and b~ we've been prepping for this tournament all week – disclosing 30 min before on email doesn't solve c~ most email disclosure just leads to you sharing the plantext and not the actual cites which doesn't help out strat at all2~ Norms – Disclosure is a norm on the circuit and you don't meet should be held to a higher standard to at least adhere to norms in debate otherwise bad for fairness bc I never know what you will and wont follow. Especially from big schools with multiple coaches3~ Clash – Because I have less time to prep out the 1AC, There won't be as much substantial clash on case. That directly controls the internal link to education because a~ clash teaches us more about the aff b~ clash teaches us more about debate.Fairness matters====1~ it's a constitutive part==== 2~ itsand edu ====2~ it's the only portable skill from debate==== Competing interps1~ Aff theory is comp. interps because a) time skew means we can reasonably win a model + interp in 4 min and b) theres no "reasonable" way to meet disclosure because it skews the round starting in the 1ac.Drop the Debater1~ dropping the debater deters any future abuse bc when you lose the round you learn and stop doing it | 11/18/21 |
