1-Must Disclose Round ReportsTournament: NSD | Round: Doubles | Opponent: Saranya Singh | Judge: Panel 2Interp: Debaters must disclose round reports on the 2021-22 NDCA LD wiki for every round they have debated this tournament. Round reports disclose which positions (AC, NC, K, T, Theory, etc.) were read/gone for in every speech.Violation: screenshot in the doc – they have only done it for r1
Standards:1~ Level Playing Field – big schools can go around and scout and collect flows but independents are left in the dark so round reports are key to prep- they give you an idea of overall what layers debaters like going for so you can best prepare your strategy when you hit them. Accessibility first and independent voter – it’s an impact multiplier2~ Strategy Education – round reports help novices understand the context in which positions are read by good debaters and help with brainstorming potential 1NCs vs affs – helps compensate for kids who can’t afford coaches to prep out affs.CA paradigm issues | 7/9/21 |
1-NSD-Must Spec StrikesTournament: NSD | Round: 1 | Opponent: Junkai Gong | Judge: Sims, John 1Interpretation: The affirmative debater must specify the type of strike in a delineated text in the 1AC.Violation:Standards –1~ Topic lit – strikes are the core question of the topic and there’s no consensus on normal means so you must spec.Law Library AND the argument is between unions and not between a union and the employer. ====This acts as a resolvability standard. Debate has to make sense and be comparable for the judge to make a decision which means it’s an independent voter and outweighs.==== Implications:~1~ Stable advocacy – 1AR clarification delinks neg positions that prove why enforcement in a certain instance is bad by saying it isn’t their method of enforcement – wrecks neg ballot access and kills in depth clash – CX doesn’t check since it kills 1NC construction pre-round~2~ Prep skew – I don’t know what they will be willing to clarify until CX which means I could go 6 minutes planning to read a disad and then get screwed over in CX when they spec a different funding. This means that CX can’t check because the time in between is when I should be formulating my strat and waiting until then is the abuse. Key fairness because I won’t be able to use the strat I formulated if you skewed my prep and will have a time disadvantageD. VoterFairness is a voter—debate is a competitive activity that requires objective evaluation. Education is a voter – it is the terminal impact of debate. Drop the debater—the abuse has already occurred and my time allocation has shifted—also the shell indicts your whole aff—justifies severance which skews my strat. Use competing interps—leads to a race to the top since we figure out the best possible norm and avoids judge intervention since there’s a clear briteline. No RVIs—a. Baiting—they’ll just bait theory and prep it out—justifies infinite abuse and results in a chilling effectb. its not logical—you don’t reward them for meeting the burden of being fair, especially on T debate where definitions are objective while your interp is subjective. Logic is a meta constraint on all args because it definitionally determines whether an argument is valid. | 7/7/21 |
2-K-Deleuze RepsTournament: NSD | Round: 1 | Opponent: Junkai Gong | Judge: Sims, John 3Their scholarship is bad and a reason to lose the round—their author endorsed pedophilia and actively advocated against the age of consent law.Doezema 18 ~Marie Doezema (Parisian Journalist). "France, Where Age of Consent Is Up for Debate." The Atlantic, 10 March 2018. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/03/frances-existential-crisis-over-sexual-harassment-laws/550700/ WWDH~ AND to five years in prison, but did not serve their full sentences. Comes first:~1~ Reversibility: once oppressive rhetoric is used it cannot be taken back~2~ Norm setting: we are part of a larger debate community with extensive norms – letting bad discourse be rampant kills the community~3~ Competition: debate is an educational competition with no place for offensive rhetoric – that kills access to the lasting benefit debate provides | 7/7/21 |
2-K-SetColTournament: NSD | Round: 1 | Opponent: Junkai Gong | Judge: Sims, John 2The role of the ballot is to vote for who best centers indigenous scholarship and resistance— Any ethical commitment requires that the aff place themselves in the center of Native scholarship and demands.Carlson 16 (Elizabeth Carlson, PhD, is an Aamitigoozhi, Wemistigosi, and Wasicu (settler Canadian and American), whose Swedish, Saami, German, Scots-Irish, and English ancestors have settled on lands of the Anishinaabe and Omaha Nations which were unethically obtained by the US government. Elizabeth lives on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Nehiyawak, Dakota, Nakota, and Red River Metis peoples currently occupied by the city of Winnipeg, the province of Manitoba, (2016): Anti-colonial methodologies and practices for settler colonial studies, Settler Colonial Studies, DOI: 10.1080/2201473X.2016.1241213) SJ DL AND I believe our contributions to settler colonial studies are even more deeply problematic. Settler colonialism is not a one-off occurrence – based in the logic of elimination, it requires the erasure of indigenous populations for the identity-making and nation-forming of the white settler that rewrites ontological identity and relationships.Rifkin 13 Mark Rifkin, 2013, "Settler Common Sense: Queerness and Everyday Colonialism in the American Renaissance," University of Minnesota Press, SJKS AND expropriation of Native lands register the impression of everyday modes of colonial occupation. Settler workers are still settlers – the 1ac grounds their politics in a defense of indigenous dispossession and necessitates settler expansion.Englert 20 Sai Englert (lecturer @ Universiteit Leiden), 2020, "Settlers, Workers, and the Logic of Accumulation by Dispossession," Antipode, Vol. 0, No. 0, doi:10.1111/anti.12659 AND brief case studies demonstrating this process in the context of Zionism in Palestine. Western epistemology is deeply engrained in settler colonialism. Rationalist thought centres itself as the almighty while pushing others down and is what created the conditions that were used to justify genocide. The 1AC outsources agency to a "neutral point" where they look down at Indigenous people, classify them, and eliminate them.Kerr 14 (Jeannie Kerr is an assistant professor of education at the University of Winnipeg, former professor at the University of British Columbia, teaches courses in Indigenous Education, Knowledge and Society, Knowledge and Curriculum, Decolonial thought. "Western epistemic dominance and colonial structures: Considerations for thought and practice in programs of teacher education," Decolonization: Indigeneity, Education and Society, Vol. 3, No. 2, 2014. Pages 88-91) SJ DL AND points out: "knowledge production is not an innocent or neutral project" The alternative is one of decolonization-an ethic of incommensurability leads to infinite native futuresTuck and Yang 12 Eve Tuck and K. Wayne Yang, 2012, "Decolonization is not a metaphor," Decolonization: Indigeneity, Education and Society, SJ DL AND - these are the unwritten possibilities made possible by an ethic of incommensurability. | 7/7/21 |
3-NC-UtilTournament: NSD | Round: 4 | Opponent: Shreya Joshi | Judge: Evans, Rex 1The standard is maximizing expected wellbeing.1~ Actor spec—governments must use util because they don’t have intentions and are constantly dealing with tradeoffs—outweighs since different agents have different obligations—takes out calc indicts since they are empirically denied.2~ Death is bad and outweighs – a~ agents can’t act if they fear for their bodily security which constrains every ethical theory, b~ it destroys the subject itself – kills any ability to achieve value in ethics since life is a prerequisite which means it’s a side constraint since we can’t reach the end goal of ethics without life3~ Pleasure and pain are the starting point for moral reasoning—they’re our most baseline desires and the only things that explain the intrinsic value of objects or actionsMoen 16, Ole Martin (PhD, Research Fellow in Philosophy at University of Oslo).

NSD- Interstate Compacts CPTournament: NSD | Round: 5 | Opponent: Jet Sun | Judge: Ratnasabapathy, Tarun 3Counterplan text: All just governments except for the United States should recognize an unconditional right to strike for workers.The fifty states and appropriate territories of the United States should ratify a cooperative horizontal federalism model interstate compact to recognize an unconditional right to strike for teachers.The counterplan solves and creates a cooperative horizontal federalism model – the perm also failsHall, 6 ~Noah D., Assistant Professor, Wayne State University Law School, "Toward a New Horizontal Federal Interstate Water Management in the Great Lakes Region," https://www.greatlakeslaw.org/blog/files/Hall'Colorado.pdf, Corrigan~ AND interstate environmental protection creates a third option to federal and individual state policymaking.
