1 T - DisclosureTournament: Loyola | Round: 5 | Opponent: Princton Independent JG | Judge: Chris Castillo 1NC – DisclosureInterpretation: Debaters must disclose the 1AC with cites and open source on the 2021-2022 NDCA wiki, or tell the negative what the 1AC will be and if there are any changes to said 1AC 30 minutes prior to the round.Violations: They didn't — SC in the doc prove Standards:1~ Research - disclosure allows debaters to pursue more information on an opponent's case and exposes us to more literature. More reading means we get the most holistic education from the preparation process, rather than having the shallow process of reading tag lines and hearing only what is high lighted2~ Strategy – I'm able to prepare a much better neg strategy which allows the aff to be tested to a much greater depth which in turn leads to the best rounds and most education.3~ Ethics – its ethical to disclose for a few reasons. 1. Online it lets us still debate with poor internet connection which is key to retain accessibility. 2. It allows us to make sure that the evidence that is being read is not being misrepresented and is legit.4~ Reciprocity – I've open sourced all of my positions on the neg and they haven't told me what aff they are reading this round which makes it impossible for me to prepare before the round but they can prepare against me.Voter:1~ Education and fairness – not disclosing kills our ability to engage with the aff which kills education and fairness which must be prioritized.2~ Inclusivity is a voter - the ballot is supposed to test the argumentative capacity of the debater. We should strive to eliminate external influence over this decision.DTD –A~ Deters future abuseB~ Drop the arg cant solve – the abuse has already happenedCompeting interps –A~ Reasonability is Arbitrary and invites judge intervention – impossible to determine what is reasonable, which means debating over specific interps is best and we don't know you're bs meter or what you think is reasonableB~ Intervention – judges have to intervene and determine what is reasonable which is bad bc it forces judges to make decisions along preferred biases, which causes biased and possibly discriminatory decisions.C~ Collapses – we would just debate over the bright line which is functionally competing interpsNo RVI'sA~ Baiting – that invites maximally abusive praxis bc people will just prep out the shellB~ Chilling – if we drop by trying to enforce a norm that we think is good then we wont do it again – this means were never able to create norms which ows on magnitudeC~ Illogical – you shouldn't win for meeting your burden if that was the case, affs could just win by saying they affirm the topic. | 9/6/21 |

2 - Hostage Taking KTournament: Loyola | Round: 5 | Opponent: Princton Independent JG | Judge: Chris Castillo 1NC – KEpistemic appeals to the validity of the real are a farce – The media represents a world more real than real; information has fallen into the void of illusion – we are gorged with meaning to the point that trump can spew nonsense and it becomes real – The affirmatives form of communication is just a new expansion of the hyper real – we must reject the appeal to information as a method of actualizing progress.Shapiro, 20 ~Alan Shapiro, specialist in Applied Baudrillard, "Is Trump a Fascist or is He the Parody of Fascism?" 10/31/2020, http://www.alan-shapiro.com/is-trump-a-fascist-or-is-he-the-parody-of-fascism/~~//Townes And Thus, I have taken the 1AC hostage.My demand: the ballot, and 30 speaker pointsThe 1AC has NO ABILITY to respond because I took it, it's mine, stolen away to defeat the system on its own terms, turning signs against signs and over-accelerating all symbolic distinctions between self and other as the distinction between terrorist and hostage becomes murkier and murkier.

Standards:1~ Research - disclosure allows debaters to pursue more information on an opponent's case and exposes us to more literature.

Online it lets us still debate with poor internet connection which is key to retain accessibility. Ie I can see the aff before the round and prepare a strat incase my internet goes down during the round 2. It allows us to make sure that the evidence that is being read is not being misrepresented and is legit which is almost impossible in round.4~ Reciprocity – I've open sourced all of my positions on the neg and they haven't told me what aff they are reading this round which makes it impossible for me to prepare before the round but they can prepare against me.5~ It's a question of norms – even if there isn't in round abuse you can still vote negative that we are the best norms for debateVoter:1~ Education and fairness – not disclosing kills our ability to engage with the aff which kills education and fairness which must be prioritized.2~ Inclusivity is a voter - the ballot is supposed to test the argumentative capacity of the debater.
