Tips-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

TO EVERYONE: CREATE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE CARDS YOU READ BY SAYING 'NEXT' OR 'AND'.
Neg-when giving a 2NC, give an overview and really explain what the disad does and impact it! Like I said before, impact calculus is extremely under-utilized in debate!
**I think everyone in this round can utilize extending the arguments that were made in the constructive speeches. They not only save plenty of time, but boosts your ethos in the round.
***AFF- leverage your add on!! There must be a reason why you read it right?!
Speech by speech comments----------------------------------------------

1AC-EXCELLENT! You are incredibly fast and clear for a novice! I was really impressed!
1AC CX- Emily you have a great presence in the round. You seemed to really know what your aff does, and that was visible during cross-x.
----NEG: you guys should ask more than clarification questions! You are letting the aff talk for literally 3 minutes and they are just explaining the aff.
1NC-I didn't really like your negative strategy. Plus, you read wayyyy too many ppp cards (you read like 7-8)  when you could've read an extra off-case if you had just cut off the amount of cards that you read for the CP.
1NC CX-neg-good job explaining your politics scenario! Seems like you're doing your reading!
2AC- Loved the add on! Extremely strategic! Also, your answer to the farm bill disad was pretty much fiat solves the link--very smart!
2NC-don't just read cards! EXPLAIN YOUR ARGUMENTS! The 2NC is built for elaboration and explanation of your arguments to allow your judge to understand what you read in the 1NC! Not enough analysis was made in the 2NC. 
2NC CX-aff you did a great job pointing out the logical fallacies with the disad! Great job.
1NR: Your explanation of the farm bill disad was excellent! Permutations are abusive, btw. Just prove that they can't make a permutation argument because (i.e. it makes them sever out of their 1AC,

2AR: good analysis on case! I loved the impact comparison! However, you should've spent more time on the cp though!

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

The whole statistics debate was really weird for me. 60% of exports is still a lot less than like 20% of the entire US GDP. You have to contextualize these statistics. I had actually typed this out before Dave gave the 2AR--and the fact that you pointed this out is extremely impressive.

So ultimately, I voted on the fact that manufacturing advantage. Manufacturing increases r&d and innovation which allows the United States to prevent bioterrorism which is an existential threat--and is a probable threat.
