Fatima+and+Priyanka+J.+vs.+Libby+Judge+Turner

Fatima: -Good starting pace for 1AC/greater clarity. Still one minute left in the 1AC after your additions but several 2AC cards on the case. Coordinate to avoid this loss of time. -Cross-ex of the 1NC should start with narrower questions. For example, cooperation DA question started with vague question and eventually got around to interaction between uniqueness and advantage arguments about Japan/others pursuing SPS. Start at the end of this chain of questions to make c/x more efficient and direct. -Don’t flow off the viewing computer. You interrupted the 2AC because you flowed the 1NC off the screen. -1AR – make sure you win one advantage. Covering both advantages equally meant that coverage on neither was great. -Creative use of case evidence to try to get offense against spending, but the original 2AC arguments and structure disappeared. These new applications would be easier to work in as extensions of existing 2AC arguments. -Capitalize on turns on cooperation DA.

Priyanka: -Change posture and speaking orientation – you’re reading into your laptop screen. -Indict evidence with an argument instead of “their ____ evidence doesn’t say anything” or “their ____ evidence has no warrants.” Change how you flow these arguments so that they are efficient and easier to flow particularly on case. -Too many cards on case -- you want more arguments against their DAs. -Start 2AR with your winning argument and impact calculus instead of line-by-line on your weaker advantage. -Change your impact calculus to account for their arguments about turning/accessing the case. Especially in the case of leadership versus economic growth. You need to answer their internal link argument (that economic growth is the only way to support forward presence).

Libby: -Start 1NC slower. Start with argument titles on all pages. -Good c/x on response to spending timeframe/intervening actors argument. -Block – only make new impact arguments that you want to go far/believe are potentially winning arguments. You read cards on poverty but not a terminal impact and when they were conceded, barely referred them in the 2NR. -Too much time describing the consequence of dropping an argument. -Dangerous to undercover aff turns on cooperation. If you’re not planning on going for cooperation, you should alter your block coverage to make it easier to kick in the 2NR (i.e. bit more on uniqueness). -2NR Make/refer to argument instead of presence of argument instead of “they’ve dropped many arguments” -Better kicking cooperation – using case arguments was good, but you should answer the thesis of the turn. Establish layers if you’re worried i.e. – not unique – already being cooperative, SPS won’t be perceived as cooperative, that’s why not cooperating on it now, prior consultation cooperation would be necessary anyway, even if they win this turn there’s no impact.
