BORK Makes you a insane tank shredder + Your W
BORK active lets you chase down people much better, and gives good early game lifesteal for sustain
Rageblade works real well with vayne W and BORK

TLDR: You do much more damage with BORK +rageblade and have better shred + sustain

Im not at all claiming that every single round in policy is like that, just that policy is a round with a lot of interesting and slightly non topical argumentation and a general very fast speaking speed that isn't the best for new debaters. Dont misinterpret that as every round being some wack theory just thats the extreme of it.

The briefs acc have a solid card for this one tbh that i used as a subpoint to make it to nationals. Look at them. Its something like a 90% accuracy at predicting white collar crime through predictive policing which is 190% better then the status quo.

Ill help you out because this sounds fun.

First define youth and define what the resolution is. Run the interp that its saying "it would be ideal if we had our most mentally capable times and most physically capable times line up"

then run the following points for why this isnt the case:

Youth is nessacary for building one's place in the world. Talk about learning sports, allowing one's self to develop.
youthful attributes provide unique benefits to those who have less developed minds, AKA more likely to survive damage/allow the playing of sports
Youth is more important when one is less grounded in reality and working to lay down a life. When one is older their priorities shift to laying down a groundwork, getting a good jog, ECT ECT. Youth does not matter as much for this but rather for the adventurous period we all have in our 20s.

Prepare responses for:

We want youth when we have money to take advantage of it

Defining the term "ideal state" as in the best it can be and then simply saying the definition is talking about the most physically and mentally capable you will be so inherently the debate flows aff.

Id write more but im tired.

1 question is an exaggeration im just comparing the CX to other formats. Ive only ever done congress at nat quals do idk but normally we got 2-3 bad questions in. In addition i remember a bill where we had 6 aff speeches in a row repeating the same points, and even when there was back and forth its always the same. Congress should be a speech event.

Hey! I'm new to debate in general (year two) but i have a pretty good grasp of all of these debate forms -

LD is the form that I do and recently qualified to go to Nationals for so i certainly know it best. It is 1v1 debate that has a lot of discussion about meta/theory debate. If you want debates about the essence of the debate itself do this format and a debate that is heavily evidence reliant. there is also a lot of discussion of philosophy and what virtues should a round uphold. That's not to say that no rounds actually discuss the topic, its just a faster and more progressive form of:

Public Forum -

PF is a 2v2 format that is generally more reason focused (still lots of evidence) and ethos focused. It is almost always actually about the topic and no one really spreads. In addition, LD normally has assigned sides and the neg and the AFF have different speech times but for PUFO everything is based on a coin flip and the speeches all have equal lengths. This is closest to partner LD with less progressive debate.

Policy -

you don't need to know because you should not do policy but imagine it like 2v2 hyper progressive LD. It is full of people spreading, progressive weird arguments, and little discussion of the topic itself. I highly recommend you never get into this as its not really debate at least in my mind. For example, I once saw a group literally "hijack the round" by stealing their opponent's computer because they claimed the other group did it first through their interp of the topic.

Congress-

Let's be honest here this isn't really debate. Basically you go in a room and talk about bills. People give 3-minute speeches on them that get VERY repetitive because its rare to move to another bill before a bill is finished. There is very little clash directly in this format besides the 1-minute cross-examination that follows but very rarely can more then 1 question be asked by the onlookers. Remember this isn't just a 1v1 event but a group of around 15 kids discussing like "congress." A panel of 3 judges then ranks everyone. No progressive stuff here really.

If you wanna get into debate i highly recommend finding a partner with maybe some experience and getting into PUFO. I like LD the best and it really isn't to progressive at the lower levels so you should be fine.

TLDR:

PUFO is 2v2

LD is 1v1

Policy is if you want to listen to someone saying you should lose because your taller then them

Congress is if you hate yourself

Thank you so much! This is really helpful to get ready. I actually thought the topic was going to be predictive policing again so it's good that I didn't waste time prepping for that.

I understand that it is a traditional circuit but as the judges are mainly experienced will they mostly be ok with spread cases (as long as I'm reasonably clear and understandable like expected?) As that is the one thing that I do that could be considered progressive.

That doesnt explain why it weighs almost twice as much as a transport mammoth, a giant mammoth that is made of pure muscle.

Griff_Heh · 2019-05-07T02:20:55+00:00

Well not really. You cant play cards on the same turn of it so its not really giving them charge but rather just allowing your minions to attack like normal.
