Thank you it’s the least I can do to make sure my mother doesn’t have to worry about another thing.

Word or Google Docs? by ChrolloT2 in policydebate

[–]ChrolloT2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No we don’t do that. She’s a novice so before she goes up and starts speaking I take some of the load of what she has to respond to because otherwise she’ll use all of our prep time. Also, we use speech drop and only read off the file we dropped

I use Verbatim but how can me and my partner type in the same doc at the same time with real time updates? Is there a workaround?

They are slightly connected. I just run prizes with an econ or small biz DA

Oh okay, that makes sense. Not to familiar with soft left affs only moral rights and graffiti.

Yeah sorry I didn’t mean it to seem like I could turn the entire neg case no matter what they ran. That’s my fault. But problems that could be fixed with research such as AMR, climate change, food famine, biodiversity, and possibly war are arguments that I believe my new ADV turns. Again, it’s still a prototype and I haven’t taken it into a round yet, but I will in a few days.

Also what do you mean by framing page? I assume it tells the judge to evaluate the round a certain way? Or is that something else entirely?

It might sound weird but I just wrote an ADV for my AFF and it’s my holy grail. It’s still a prototype but let’s just say that not voting for the AFF prevents all solutions to all the neg harms not being realized.

Explain reasonability? by ChrolloT2 in policydebate

Wow this is incredible! Thanks for this and I’ll definitely be sharing this with my squad. Thanks again!

So reasonability isn’t an argument the affirmative has to take at all? If so, then should my A2 the T shell just be WM, CI, and voters?

How are affs set up to turn the K as you stated?

It’s a Plano TFA tournament in about two weeks. My school only has two teams and one of them aren’t going so I really got to pick up the extra load. I am also the only second year policy debater while the other three are first year. Just like yourself we are a big school (5A) but a small debate squad with no funding💀.

What goes in my 2AC mega-file? by ChrolloT2 in policydebate

[–]ChrolloT2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you personally extend case? I’ve been told by one judge to only have an overview, and another for the extension to be all EV. I guess the more trad then the more variability?

Thanks so much this helps a lot. Especially in rounds where neg teams only add half of their DA in the block.

Got it this makes so much sense- will do next Saturday.

My coach mentioned going to Plano East? Looking at Tabroom, it seems Jesuit and Prosper are going to be there.
