=6/28/2011= toc Look at the judge during CX. When you are asking questions, don’t ask questions which he can use to make him look good: “Would you say the Canadian satellite is efficient?”

Your 1AR had some very good moments. Your impact analysis was excellent, especially when you pointed out that an arms race cannot take place if everyone on earth is dead. Your argument that Canada can detect asteroids, but can’t deflect them, is also a very good argument. But you did not properly address some arguments. For example, you said that “capitalism can only be defeated using capitalism”, but then you said that “asteroid defense has nothing to do with capitalism,” which means you don’t solve the kritik. You should try and answer the kritik by saying that your aff impacts are worse than the impacts of capitalism, because the 2NC does not explain the impacts very well.

=6/29/2011= Blaize/Josh vs Ayan/Tiana Ayan Nice job figuring out to read the debris cards the opposite way given what the aff did. You spend about the first four minutes reading just case cards in the 1nc. This is good, but in a traditional policymaking sense, even if all these arguments were correct, the aff would still have a risk of being good. You want to put your off case arguments first to make sure you get those out. So sorry about my phone Good impact comparison in the 1nr—you not only made the timeframe argument, but also why timeframe was more important than the affs magnitude

I would go to your offcase positions before case in order to make sure you get through all your offensive arguments. Try to prep all of the 1nr during the 2nc, so you don’t have to take prep before the 1nr. You are doing a really good job explaining the impacts on the K and sound really convincing and strong. However, Tiana already took the K in the 2nc, so it doesn’t make that much sense for you to go over it again. Before the 2nc, you should both talk about what you are going to take and make sure there is no overlap to maximize the effectiveness of the block and put the most pressure possible on the aff. You do a really good job on impact calc on the DA, make sure you are answering the aff’s individual arguments.

= 7/7/2011 = 1N You did a great job! Very clear and precise. I think you need to focus on line by line. You are doing a great job extending and reading good, relevant cards but I think you need to work on really explaining the warrants of the cards. A few too many cards in the 1NR when really what you need is more analysis! Go the extra mile, read a card and then explain WHY it is important and what it means for the debate.
