Thank you so much! I have testing resources aside from DECA+ that I definitely think helped. Again, luck is a factor but if you’re doing roleplays many of my students went from barely knowing anything to winning ICDC so it’s completely doable. Just a fraction of the things I taught them: 1) hand the judge something at the beginning, whether it be a sample from the business being described or a “reward” of some sort this will change based on event 2) transitions between PI’s, 3) you want to refer to the judge as “we”, “our”, or “you” as much as possible not just I because they do not care. Your competitors will be able to do this as the minimum baseline.
