1 - AFCv1Tournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 6 | Opponent: Dr Phillips BR | Judge: Wu, Jalyn Interpretation: The negative must concede the affirmative's framework choice if it's normatively justified as the categorical imperative. It's the best for accessibility because turns can be generated analytically without cards which fosters critical thinking and includes those who don't have resources.You violate by reading another framing mechanism and/or contesting mine – 6 ways out if you concede AFC – T or theory, counterplans, disads impact turns, kritiks impacted to the aff, and link turns~1~ Strat skew – The NC can adapt to the 1AC – but the 1AC can't adapt to the NC. The 1AC is already behind on strategy because it has to commit to a strategy since they talk first, but AFC levels the playing field.~2~ Contention level debate – We only have the topic for two months, but we can debate FW every single round. That means contention level offense OW and we should commit to deeper substantive clash. | 12/7/21 |
1 - Open Source DisclosureTournament: Scarsdale | Round: 2 | Opponent: BrxSci IP | Judge: Siegal, Zach Interpretation: Debaters must disclose all constructive positions on open source on the 2021-2022 NDCA LD wiki after the round in which they read them.Violation – they didn't disclose for Bronx and Yale ss in the doc prove 1~ Debate resource inequities—you'll say people will steal cards, but that's good—it's the only way to truly level the playing field for students such as novices in under-privileged programs who can't bypass paywalled articles.2~ Evidence ethics – open source is the only way to verify pre-round that cards aren't miscut or highlighted or bracketed unethically. That's a voter – maintaining ethical ev practices is key to being good academics and we should be able to verify you didn't cheat~1~ DTD on 1ac theory and disclosure – a) disclosure cannot be drop the argument because it would just drop you because you're the norm b) deterrence~2~ Reject all responses to disclosure – they selectively comply with our norm because they disclose some docs that meet our criteria which proves we can't verify what norms they actually agree with.~3~ No RVI on ac theory – otherwise the neg would dump for 7 mins on a shell and moot the possibility of a 1ar out – any reason why they get an rvi is nonunique because you would have to respond to 6 minutes of the 1AC regardless of if its theory or a contention~4~ CI – 1~ reasonability is arbitrary – impossible to know what is reasonable until you establish a brightline 2~ bites judge intervention cuz they have to gut check what they think is good 3~ reasonability collapses cuz u use offense defense to evaluate offense under the BL 4~ norms – you can sidestep norms by selectively choosing a different brightline you meet every round.~5~ Disclosure outweighs – it's key to assessing the honesty of the form of your argumentation and how you presented arguments which means it precludes 1nc claims.~6~ Fairness is a voter because debate is a game governed by rules and you can't tell who actually won if the layer was skewed. | 11/14/21 |
