Make sure to have read through your 1ac before the debate—you want to know which parts you are going to read. This also gives you a chance to emphasize particular words in your 1ac you want to make sure the judge gets. Good minimization of the debate in the 1ar—it seemed like you knew which arguments were important and how to explain them and also why that meant you won the debate. Be careful not to cover arguments that weren’t extended in the block, unless you have straight turned those arguments, becoming an advantage for you.

=6/29/2011= - I’m of the opinion that you should put your offcase arguments first, then the case debate. It’s often hard to judge exactly how long the offcase will take you, so putting case last allows you to bring up extra cards and just read more if you have extra time. Also if you end up not having enough time, it’s probably better to miss a case card than your Kritik alternative - Good clarity – Push yourself to go quicker so you can get through more arguments - If you don’t know how to pronounce a word, just move through it, especially if it is in card text - You should try and coordinate to extend a different set of arguments from your partner, which will make it harder for the 1AR, you should try and spend more of the time on the budget DA - You should have some impact analysis (why the disad outweighs the case, you can make args like timeframe, probability, magnitude) - Try and avoid moving your feet and taking steps while speaking - Avoid 1NR prep as much as possible
