1 - Disclose 30 min before
Tournament: Loyola | Round: 2 | Opponent: Harvard-Westlake MT | Judge: Ishan Rereddy Interpretation: The aff must disclose the plan text and advantages 30 minutes before the round Violation: They didn’t Standards: 1 Prep Skew – 4 minutes of prep is not enough to put together a coherent 1nc or update generics – 30 minutes is necessary to learn a little about the affirmative and piece together what 1nc positions apply and cut and research their applications to the affirmative 2 Quality of Education – plan text disclosure discourages cheap shot affs. If the aff isn’t inherent or easily defeated by 20 minutes of research, the case should lose – this will answer the 1AR’s claim about innovation – with 30 minutes of prep, there’s still an incentive to find a new strategic, well justified aff, but no incentive to cut a horrible, incoherent aff that the neg can’t check against the broader literature. 3 Evidence ethics - 4 minutes of prep isn't sufficient to read through multiple articles which lets them get away evidence ethics violation. Evidence ethics first, it controls the internal link to fairness and education cuz debate would just devolve into who could read the most miscut evidence.

1 - Disclosure
Tournament: Peninsula Invitational | Round: 1 | Opponent: Iowa City West FZ | Judge: Sam Gustavson Interpretation: The aff must disclose the plan text and advantages 30 minutes before the round Violation: They didn’t
Standards: 1 Prep Skew – 4 minutes of prep is not enough to put together a coherent 1nc or update generics – 30 minutes is necessary to learn a little about the affirmative and piece together what 1nc positions apply and cut and research their applications to the affirmative 2 Quality of Education – plan text disclosure discourages cheap shot affs. If the aff isn’t inherent or easily defeated by 20 minutes of research, the case should lose – this will answer the 1AR’s claim about innovation – with 30 minutes of prep, there’s still an incentive to find a new strategic, well justified aff, but no incentive to cut a horrible, incoherent aff that the neg can’t check against the broader literature. 3 Evidence ethics - 4 minutes of prep isn't sufficient to read through multiple articles which lets them get away evidence ethics violation. Evidence ethics first, it controls the internal link to fairness and education cuz debate would just devolve into who could read the most miscut evidence. Voters: 1 Fairness is a voter because debate is a competitive activity 2 Education is a voter because it’s the reason schools fund debate, we wouldn’t have debate without it Drop the debater 1 Rectify time spent on theory 2 Deter future abuse Competing interps 1 Reasonability is arbitrary and invites judge intervention 2 Reasonability creates a race to the bottom where people try to find out how abusive they can be No RVIs 1 Illogical – you shouldn’t win for being fair – it’s a litmus test for engaging in substance 2 They chill abuse checking 3 Incentivizes people to bait theory then win the RVI

1 - Ev Ethics
Tournament: Loyola | Round: 2 | Opponent: Harvard-Westlake MT | Judge: Ishan Rereddy Interpretation: Debaters must provide some form of author qualifications on every card they read. Violations: The screenshots below
Standards: A: Clash creates a race to the bottom in terms of evidence where low quality evidence is permissible allowing for debaters to site random people jumping to illogical conclusions and we have to be ready to respond even if the argument is categorically false, kills fairness since the round will always be skewed in their favor, kills education since clash is the only reason we learn in round. B: Evidence ethics, theres no way for us to know if we can trust the evidence, and proper evidence is constitutive of debate since all strong positions especially policy oriented are based on good evidence. Evidence ethics is independently a vote since we can’t debate without proper evidence.

1 - Hypothetical Government
Tournament: Apple Valley | Round: 4 | Opponent: Mission San Jose SS | Judge: Gordon Krauss Interpretation: Debaters must defend an existing government- not a hypothetical or ideal one. Violation: They defend a hypothetical government Standards 1 Shiftiness- they can spike out of disads and counterplans by saying our ev is about the squo or squo actors which kills neg engagement. That outweighs. A Predictability because we can’t know what prep does or doesn’t link in a hypothetical world B Reversibility because we can’t recover lost arguments 2 Specificity- creates more nuanced depth because we can read ev specific to your scenario. Outweighs- nuanced clash is better clash which is the point of debate. 3 Real world- its always possible for a real government to recognize the right to strike but not a made up one. That outweighs- If education isn’t portable its useless

1 - Normative Theory
Tournament: Apple Valley | Round: 2 | Opponent: Troy Independent AP | Judge: Andrew Wixson Interp: debaters must link their role of the ballot warrants to a normative theory that determines what counts as good and bad. Violation: all the moten cards ground-making assertions without justifying why certain things are good and bad kills my ground since I don’t know how to link turns to the role of the ballot-there is no mechanism I can appeal to that warrants what counts as offense in the first place. Supercharged by the fact that the role of the ballot excludes my framework, there is no way to actually weigh offense in the round. Impacts: A. kills fairness since you’re the only one with offense left, B. causes intervention since just has to randomly pick one side without any basis-that means the round isn’t decided on the better debating but rather arbitrary things which also kills fairness. C. link turns the role of the ballot since otherwise we make assumptions that hurt the alternative you want to empower since it seems unjustified to people.
