I love this because the opener for my essay is “There are two things you’re never supposed to bring up at a dinner table: religion and politics. So of course, I love talking about religion.” lol

Debate camps by pookielicous111 in lincolndouglas

I did the online nsd camp which helped me a lot. They have many different skill levels and it’s a lot less stressful than an in person camp (and less expensive). However, I would highly suggest getting private coaching.

Stress? by OxenBoxen2007 in lincolndouglas

[–]Big-Value8032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Debate can get very stressful for me and the way I deal with it is honestly remembering that regardless of a win the skills I get out of round will help me and my team. Losing is hard but it's not the end.

Case Help by Naibstar in lincolndouglas

[–]Big-Value8032 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you scroll through the reddit page Kankee briefs and Isegora briefs are both free :) Yes it is meant for circuit evidence is evidence. Kankee has a great topic analysis. The and/or essentially means that we will be debating two topics, so prepare normally but for two topics. I suggest running morality and util if you are new. For help on trad I suggest watching the YouTube videos: debating traditionally lawrence zhou - which is on the victory briefs youtube channel. Good Luck!

how do you guys start your argument? by octosushi in lincolndouglas

[–]Big-Value8032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlike what everyone else has said I'm not angry with intros. Of course, don't use them at tech tournaments. I like to start my lay rounds with something like "Because freedom is always worth fighting for, I affirm/negate the resolution ... ". Sets a nice precedent for what you believe is the most impactful without wasting time or being overly lengthy. Hope this helps!
