G - Th - Tournament Name DisclosureTournament: Yale University Invitational 2021 | Round: 3 | Opponent: Claudia Taylor AP | Judge: Mariana Colicchio The standard is inclusion - they make debate inaccessible to novices or small schools who compete on the circuit but don’t have access to resources or have knowledge of debate lingo to know the shorthand nicknames for tournaments. Two internal links to accessibility - 1) lets debaters see if you won or lost on tab going for specific strategies or hitting specific strategies, letting debaters adapt around that and b) lets debaters see what speaks judges gave to help them see how good you were at going for x argument. Independently links into reciprocity since if I disclosed one way and you didnt’ you had the advantage in this round. Outweighs - none of their standards matter if debaters can’t access them and means reasonability is uniquely wrong since even a 1 risk of exclusion is bad, you obviously don’t say some level of exclusion is justified | 9/18/21 |

SeptOct - T - FrameworkTournament: Yale University Invitational 2021 | Round: 3 | Opponent: Claudia Taylor AP | Judge: Mariana Colicchio Resolved means a policyWords and Phrases 64 Words and Phrases Permanent Edition. “Resolved”. 1964. Vote neg for limits: their model has no resolutional bound and creates the possibility for literally an infinite number of 1ACs. Not debating the topic allows someone to specialize in one area of the library for 4 years giving them a huge edge over people who switch research focus ever 2 months. Cutting negs to every possible aff wrecks small schools, which has a disparate impact on under-resourced and minority debaters. Counter-interpretations are arbitrary, unpredictable, and don’t solve the world of neg prep because there’s no grounding in the resolution Terminal defense to their model – Drop the debater - severance kills 1NC strat construction—1AR restart favors aff since it’s 7-6 time skew and they get 2 speeches to my one. Competing interps - a) reasonability’s arbitrary and forces judge intervention especially with 2ar recontextualizations to always sound like the more reasonable debater b) norm setting - we find the best possible norms c) reasonability collapses - you use offense/defense paradigm to evaluate brightlines. This means Even if their aff is answerable, the ones they incentivize are not which means you presume the worst possible affs because people inevitably want to be as abusive as possible for the win and they create a model of self care No rvi’s or impact turns - No 1ar theory or independent voters: you get 2ar ethos to blow up a 20 second shell we overcover and responses to my counter interp will be new causing intervention. | 9/18/21 |
SeptOct - T - Framework v2Tournament: Mid America Cup Valley Round Robin | Round: 2 | Opponent: Cardinal Gibbons RS | Judge: Kopf - Jasani Resolved means a policyFind Law Legal Dictionary https://dictionary.findlaw.com/definition/resolve.html SR WTO:WTO n/d, https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/whatis_e/whatis_e.htm SR Vote negative for limits---the resolution is the most predictable stasis point for debates, anything outside of that ruins prep and clash by allowing the affirmative to pick any grounds for debate. That greenlights a race away from the core topic controversies that allow for robust contestation, which favors the aff by making neg ground inapplicable, susceptible to the perm, or concessionary.The impact is iterative content mastery---getting to the third and fourth level of tactical engagement is only possible with refined and well-researched positions connected to the resolutional mechanism. Repeated debates over core issues incentivize innovative argument production and improved advocacy based on feedback and nuanced responses from opponents. Independently, fairness outweighs because the aff presumes its evaluated fairly, controls our ability to test the truth value of the aff which also means they don’t get to weigh case, and the win is what motivates people to listen - if you don’t understand how they create change by the end of this round but you do understand why iterative testing and fair clash is good for debate - vote negative. TVA solves - read your aff under a whole res plan text - still get discussions of cybernetics and SSD solves - read cybernetics on neg or out of round which solves | 9/24/21 |
