2017 Tournament of Champions Practice Round Hunter College NP (Aff) vs. Stuyvesant KF (Neg)

Practice debate between Katherine Fennell and Nina Potischmann, judged by Paras Kumar. Here are some suggestions for redos-- 1. Give Nina's 2ar but signpost better--start with paradigm issues and then win the interp/counterinterp. Don't drop the competing interps is more arbitrary argument if you go for CI. 2. Practice Nina's 2ar going for neg doesn't meet its reasonability brightline. Kick out of competing interps. 3. Practice Nina's 1ar going for framework and substance instead of 1ar theory. 4. Practice Katherine's substantive 2NR and explain the weighing better on why the PIC outweighs the aff. Also see if you can cover theory the way Katherine does, and make the 2NR answers to the resolvability standard on the first shell clearer. ———————
