Ridge Invitational Round 1 [East Side EV v. Lakeland VS]

Overview of the Round----------------------------------------------------

Aff was mass transit

1NC-gentrification disad, fiscal cliff disad and case defense

Speech by speech comments---------------------------------------------- 

1AC- Brianna you did a wonderful job saying ‘and’ in between cards to distinguish them for me! NOTE: Try to read your 1AC a couple more times—you seem to be stumbling on several words~

1NC- Learn how to give a roadmap! Also try to be more organized during your 1NC.

2AC- you said that racism must be prioritized, but you didn’t extend warrants as to WHY they should be prioritized. Additionally, take the advice I gave Brianna—re-read your cards a couple of times over—you also seemed to be stumbling on words. Overall—you did a great job extending your aff! Good job!

2NC- I liked your overview of the fiscal cliff disad at the top of the 2NC but I think that that analysis should be present on other flows.

Miguel (during 2NC CX)- I thought you did a fantastic job trying to piece apart the link to their fiscal cliff disad! great questioning!

1NR- try to split up the neg block! Great analysis on the disad—note that this same analysis was done in the 2NC as well.

RFD-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I voted affirmative. I thought that the affirmative did a much better job framing how racism would come first and how the probability of nuclear war is just too low to be compared to. Also, I have a clear extension of the ‘mass transit would solve the economy and create jobs’ argument so I am persuaded to vote aff.
