Be Yourself In Debate — The Judge Will Remember.

Be Yourself In Debate — The Judge Will Remember.

by Justin Marwad | Feb 5, 2022 | From Intermediate to Advanced

Oftentimes, people who think differently from the mainstream position are criticized for their views.  For instance, the founding of the United States of America and the freedom for which it stands only came about because certain people were bold enough to be...

Storytelling: Case Theses in Value Debate

Appreciating the Judge in Front of you

by Amanda McPhetridge | Nov 23, 2021 | Communication/Rhetoric, From Intermediate to Advanced

During my years in the league, I’ve heard a LOT of complaining, and been a part of more than I’d care to admit. It’s easy to see a problem when the tournament runs behind, when there are kids all over the hallways, or when your judge simply refuses to see things from...
2AR Refutation

2AR Refutation

by Jeremiah Mosbey | Nov 1, 2021 | From Intermediate to Advanced, Team Policy, Technique
