  14. 1NC & CX • How much time to spend on the case? • Depends on your individual strategy and speed • 3 minutes is a good rule • Structure • Alternate evidence with analytics • Incorporate arguments from 1AC CX • Cover every advantage, solvency • Diversity: different types of arguments • What are all 4 debaters doing?

  15. 2AC & CX • Case goes 1st or “on top” – why? • Answer arguments in order; keep flow organized • Use the 1AC • 2AC Blocks • Grouping arguments/cross-applying • What are all 4 debaters doing? • Job of the 1N during CX

Why? • Begin making choices – both substantive and strategic • Discussion of impacts • How to divide the block? • Make the 1AR’s life difficult

  17. 1AR • Case still goes first in the order • Why is the 1AR hard? • Job of the 1AR – DEFEND THE HOUSE • Make choices (doesn’t mean dropping arguments) • Cross-application, efficiency • Time allocation • Goal: give the 2AR the necessary tools

  18. 2NR • Make choices • Which arguments to extend? • Depth vs. breadth • Covering the bases • Why is the case still important in the 2NR?

  19. 2AR • Order – still first • Most important part of the 2AR • Assess the threats • Choose route to victory • Which impact(s)? • Impact comparison • Write the ballot for the judge • “The case outweighs because…”
