1 - Disclose Contact InfoTournament: TFA State | Round: 3 | Opponent: Stephen F Austin VG | Judge: Nelson Okunlola Interpretation: Debaters must have a NDCA LD wiki with at least contact information disclosedViolation: You don’t have a wiki – ss attached
Standards:1~ Trigger Warnings and Pronouns: having contact info before round allows debaters to let their opponents know what their trigger warnings are and their pronouns so that there aren’t any conflicts in round. Anything else risks violence and only contact info solves. Violence ow – people will quit debate which kills accessibility and controls the internal link to all voters because we need to be able to debate in the first place.C/A Paradigm issues | 3/10/22 |
1 - DisclosureTournament: TFA State | Round: 2 | Opponent: Cypress Woods AZ | Judge: Avery Wilson Interpretation: At all TOC bid distributing tournaments and TFA State, debaters must disclose all constructive speech docs open source with highlighting on the NDCA LD wiki within an hour after debating.Violation – you didn’t, I have screenshots. Here are three rounds at UT you didn’t disclose.A~ 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.B~ Evidence ethics – open source is the only way to verify before round that cards aren’t miscut – otherwise you could have highlighted 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 cheatC~ Depth of clash – open source allows debaters to come up with more nuanced researched objections to their opponents evidence before the round at a much faster rate, which leads to the highest quality evidence comparison instead of guessing what was highlightedDTD – deters abuseCI – reasonability is arbitrary and justifies judge interventionNo RVI – a~ Chilling effect – people will be scared to call out abuse since it would be prepped out b~ it forces us to go for theory c~ illogical – you shouldn’t win just cuz your fair. | 3/10/22 |

2 - Asian Melancholy v5Tournament: Grapevine | Round: Doubles | Opponent: Southlake Carrol PK | Judge: Dylan Jones, Sam Larson, Emily Jackson Sept/Oct 2021 AC (Generic) v1Asian American subject-formation is defined by a status of incomplete assimilation – an epistemic violence in which the racial signification homogenizes the body at a metaphysical level. And yet, something is missing… a haunting – if you will. A feeling of melancholy created by ontological gap between the real and the symbolic that could never be bridged. We are reduced to whatever stereotype thrown at us entails and our identities act to justify all social structures. That means only our theory of power can explain yours.Kim 09 (Chang-Hee Kim, The Fantasy of Asian America: Identity, Ideology, and Desire) 2009 klmd recut/tagged Nato ====Forms of communication are bad since it acts to publicly humiliate and shame the Asian Body – we are always in the state as "almost, but not quite". Education spaces like debate are specifically key to exclude the Asian identity and create a sense of mis belonging.==== Debate is a site of Coercive mimeticism which stipulates the Asian American body and tricks one into thinking it is the identity. Process of "liberation" from within the debate space only acts to further maintain the space since it concedes the mimeticism given by the society.
