2NC

You do a good job of reading cards/making arguments, but you should try and engage more with the arguments the 2AC made, use your 1NC evidence Don’t get bogged down in trying to answer a CX question – once the timer goes off, don’t worry about it/don’t use your prep time trying to figure out what the answer is 2NR

Your 2NR needs to start with a “heres why we win the round” moment, you don’t need to explicitly say those words (you probably shouldn’t), but you need to explain why you win the round. Often times that will be comparing impacts or explaining why your argument interacts well with theirs. You want to write the judges RFD for them Don’t get too bogged down on arguments, make sure you’re explaining why these arguments matter Make sure you address the harms of the 1AC

Yossef—2nc: Good T block! It’s pretty long, though, so unless you’re pretty confident that you’re going for T, you should cut it down. The argument Za was trying to get you to make was potential abuse (as opposed to in-round abuse). You do a good job of reading cards—you should also be sure to explicitly extend 1nc cards and to watch your time so that you get to climate change with more time. An overview at the top of the disad would be useful. 2nr—I don’t think that T is really your best 2nr option. They answered everything, and you don’t have a thorough response to reasonability or no in-round abuse. Work on efficiency—the personal comments are funny, but they don’t add to the substance of your speech. Also, if you’re going to go for T, you need to spend a lot more time going specifically through the line-by-line both extending your argument and addressing theirs. Work on 2nr organization.
