NSD - Non-competition picTournament: NSD | Round: 4 | Opponent: JosPla Graham Johnstone | Judge: Henry Eberhart We endorse the entirety of the affirmative except the resolution. | 7/9/21 |
NSD - spec theoryTournament: NSD | Round: 5 | Opponent: YoaWu Laura Huang | Judge: Matt Moorhead Interpretation: The affirmative debater must specify the type of strike in a delineated text in the 1AC.Violation – they didn’t 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. 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. Fairness and education are voters – debate’s a game that needs rules to evaluate it and education gives us portable skills for life like research and thinking.Drop the debater – a) they have a 7-6 rebuttal advantage and the 2ar to make args I can’t respond to, b) it deters future abuse and sets a positive norm.Use competing interps – a) reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention since we don’t know your bs meter, b) collapses to competing interps – we justify 2 brightlines under an offense defense paradigm just like 2 interps.No RVIs – a) illogical – you shouldn’t win for being fair – it’s a litmus test for engaging in substance, b) norming – I can’t concede the counterinterp if I realize I’m wrong which forces me to argue for bad norms, c) chilling effect – incentivizes you to read an abuse AC and go for the RVI, d) topic ed – prevents 1AR blipstorm scripts and allows us to get back to substance after resolving theoryEvaluate theory about the aff advocacy first – a) norms – we only have a couple months to set topic norms but can set 1AR theory norms anytime, b) magnitude – the aff advocacy affects a larger portion of the debate since it determines every speech after it and pre round neg prep | 7/9/21 |
NSD - t FrAmEwOrKTournament: NSD | Round: 4 | Opponent: JosPla Graham Johnstone | Judge: Henry Eberhart Our interpretation is that the resolution should determine the division of affirmative and negative ground.Resolved means a legislative policyWords and Phrases 64 Words and Phrases Permanent Edition. "Resolved". 1964. ED AND ," which is defined by Bouvier as meaning "to establish by law". A worker isDictionary.com A government isDictionary.com Violation:Vote neg for predictable limits—post-facto topic adjustment structurally favors the aff by manipulating the balance of prep which is anchored around the resolution as a stasis point. 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, which means their arguments are presumptively false because they haven’t been subject to well-researched scrutiny3 impacts:First is fairness—debate is fundamentally a game which requires both sides to have a relatively equal shot at winning and is necessary for any benefit to the activity. That outweighs:A~ decision-making: every argument concedes to the validity of fairness i.e. that the judge will make a fair decision based on the arguments presented. This means if they win fairness bad vote neg on presumption because you have no obligation to fairly evaluate their arguments.B~ probability: voting aff can’t solve any of their impacts but it can solve ours. All the ballot does is tell tab who won which can’t stop any violence but can resolve the fairness imbalance in this particular debate.Second is switch side and idea-testing —- only a limited topic that leaves a role for the negative allows contestation and second-order testing that overcomes polarization. Switching sides forces them to scrutinize their own beliefs, which is valuable for developing and defending their own convictions more robustly.Poscher 16 AND questions, where there is not fact of the matter to be discovered? Third—small schools disad: under-resourced are most adversely effected by a massive, unpredictable caselist which worsens structural disparitiesTopical version—defend giving workers the unconditional right to strike – it’s neoliberal to say that corporations and the state should have entire control over their workers.Disads to the TVA prove there’s negative ground and that it’s a contestable stasis point, and if their critique is incompatible with the topic reading it on the neg solves and is better because it promotes switch-side debateWinning their aff doesn’t answer T because only through the process of clash can they refine their defense of it—they need an explanation of why we switch sides and why there’s a winner and loser under their modelReject the team—T is question of models of debate and the damage to our strategy was already doneCompeting interps—they have to proactively to justify their model and reasonability links to our offenseNo rvis or impact turns—it’s their burden to prove their topical. Beating back T doesn’t prove their advocacy is good | 7/9/21 |
NSD - t governmentsTournament: NSD | Round: 2 | Opponent: GedSie AG | Judge: Ben Waldman TInterpretation: the affirmative debater must not specify a government or subset of governments.The article "a" implies a nonspecific or generic reading of the word "government".Walden 16Grammar: Articles, Walden University, Feb 8, 2016 https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/grammar/articles AND exist, the way they are used may be different than in English. "Just government" is a generic indefinite singular.Leslie 12 Leslie, Sarah-Jane. "Generics." In Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Language, edited by Gillian Russell and Delia Fara, 355–366. Routledge, 2012. https://www.princeton.edu/~~sjleslie/RoutledgeHandbookEntryGenerics.pdf SM recut SHS KS AND ", the adverb "sometimes" is perhaps better used than "usually".) This applies to the res – 1~ Upward entailment test – "a just government ought to recognize the unconditional right of workers to strike" doesn’t imply that "a just society ought to recognize the unconditional right of workers to strike" 2~ Adverb test — "usually a just government ought to recognize the unconditional right of workers to strike" doesn’t substantially change the meaning of the resViolation – they only defend ''' . I Inserted a list of governments here and their types.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List'of'forms'of'government 1~ Precision o/w – anything else justifies the aff arbitrarily jettisoning words in the resolution at their whim which decks negative ground and preparation because the aff is no longer bounded by the resolution.2~ Limits – the topic is too big to count – every government from West Virginia’s state gov to China – unlimited topics incentivize obscure affs that negs won’t have prep on – limits are key to reciprocal prep burden – PICs is wrong – exceptions don’t disprove a generic statement.3~ TVA – read the aff as an advantage to a whole rez aff.Fairness is a voter debate’s a game that needs rules to evaluate it.Reject potential abuse — it’s absurd to say neg potential abuse justifies the aff being flat out not T, which leads to a race towards abuse.Drop the debater – a) they have a 7-6 rebuttal advantage and the 2ar to make args I can’t respond to, b) it deters future abuse and sets a positive norm.Use competing interps – a) reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention since we don’t know your bs meter, b) collapses to competing interps – we justify 2 brightlines under an offense defense paradigm just like 2 interps.No RVIs – a) illogical – you shouldn’t win for being fair – it’s a litmus test for engaging in substance, b) norming – I can’t concede the counterinterp if I realize I’m wrong which forces me to argue for bad norms, c) chilling effect – forces you to split your 2AR so you can’t collapse and misconstrue the 2NR, d) topic ed – prevents 1AR blipstorm scripts and allows us to get back to substance after resolving theoryComes before 1AR theory — A~ If we had to be abusive it’s because it was impossible to engage their aff B~ T outweighs on scope because their abuse affected every speech that came after the 1AC C~ Topic norms outweigh on urgency – we only have a few months to set them | 7/9/21 |
