1AC was great. Work on breath efficiency. Avoid long CX questions along with explaining your evidence. shorter qs, shorten case explanations in 1ar, work on time allocation in the 1ar. I would always extend perm in 1ar as its a test of competition.

1AC – Alexander

Good pace and clarity – try and avoid bending over as much – I know the room isn’t conducive to it, but you should still practice finding ways to set up a podium of some sort, or at least if you have to keep your laptop low like that, avoid bending over as much/speaking into your laptop

Youre smart enough to start thinking about the structure of this 1AC – you can change it up

1AR Good pace and clarity Good job of reading evidence in the 1AC – you should clean up the tags when you’re reading a card like that in the 1AR – you just can’t take that long in doing so Don’t say their argument, embedded clash is legit for the 1ar “you can extend” is inefficient Extend your stuff by argument, instead of by author name – “poverty outweighs – blah blah blah – that’s Gilligan, instead of “extend Gilligan – poverty outweighs “ Good job on the actual substance of arguments Explain why their evidence doesn’t apply – think about where you can add “because” at the end of your arguments – it will help you as a drill Spend more time on these poverty arguments – you need to anticipate what ways they might have a shot in this debate


 * Round 8: Blaize DePass:** Alex/Derek vs Aasim

1AC--This was fine. You seem pretty clear. Work on breath patterns a little bit as well, it will make you more efficient.

1AR--This was a good speech for the most part. I think that you spend a lot of time on the cap K while a little more could've been spent on the disad i think. I think efficiency was there for the speech, just work on line by line a little more and you should be good. Also, i think you should spend more time on the perms if you plan on going for them. This is important so that you can win it on the kritik going into the 2AR.
