Smith,+Sequoia

You're pretty aggressive in cross ex, which is good, but let them answer your questions. Split up the block. You should decide what you're going to take in the 2NC and what your partner is going to take in the 1NR well before 2NC prep. Start with your off case position in the 2NC Answer case like you don’t have a K. If all your poverty answers are offensive because you ran the cap K, then you have nothing on the flow if you go for the DA. This is what happened in round. Try to tone down the swearing during your speech You started repeating yourself w/ 4 minutes left in the 2NC. TRy to do more in depth analysis and evidence comparison. The 2NC is time to flesh out your arguments and read a lot of cards. If they drop the CP and a DA in the 1AR, that's what you should go for. Even though you are more comfortable with the K, you have to look at the flow and go for what you have the most offence on and they have the least. They dropped a DA in the 1AR, GO FOR IT! Don't just say "I'm kicking the DA". You have to answer their offense first. More ix calc on the DA, why your impacts outweigh poverty and jobs. Great job!
