Approaching a resolution • List all possible strategies and contentions • Research said ideas and figure out what arguments are realistic to run • What judges you will be having • Themes in cases • Step back from each argument • Don’t force points
What arguments work • Stock arguments are often times the best ones to run • Unique links and unique arguments are very different things. (unique links will win you a lot more rounds • Unique arguments • Consider their placement, topicality, and believability
Two point cases • Pro • Domestic/international • Political/economic • Status quo bad/ pro improves • Con • Doesn’t solve/ makes worse
Intros and conclusions • Lay judges may like them • Keep them short • They waste time • Restating the resolution if you are the second speaking team is optional
