The first one is not even all that fast for a spreader.

@mduplessis94 Slow teams have won the TOC, NFL, and the IPC. Spreading is a tool, not a necessity. That's where a lot of people get confused.

@BreakerdeGodot well the first one cleared at the TOC...

@V61Sunda

I've got two TOC bids and my partner and I are slow as balls.

@mduplessis94 that's not at true at all, there is no basis to that claim. It actually promotes clash in a policy debate, because there are more arguments to answer...

rap for nerds. lol.

@mduplessis94 Policy debate is a competitive event, there is a real clash of ideas. Whether or not the general populace can understand it is beside the point. If everyone could do policy debate then it wouldn't be very competitive, now would it.

0:30 "Use the fricking UN" ??? Really, you would say that in a debate round. Wow.

@scoutGOW yah. I understand what you mean, because that was my initial thought when I first saw a policy debate round. But like as I started doing a little bit of policy, I liked it a lot. After about 10 rounds of like 450 wpm, I think I got used to it and it didnt really feel out of the ordinary. Also LD truthfully required not much evidence. The only thing I had for LD rounds was my aff and a few neg strats. I had no answers preppred out for either aff or the neg.

@snowmando1

I have never debated policy to be honest. I kind of know how it works and i like the Idea, but spreading has completely turned me off from it. What i like about it is actually presenting a plan, so your not just debating a resolution but solving it.

@scoutGOW The more arguments encourages more of a research burden, but I see that as a good thing, more research = more education. As you can tell, I'm not the type that likes rhetoric in speeches.

@scoutGOW well I did ld for a year before moving to policy. While I was in ld, everyone ran just really standard things and the only difference between a policy and ld aff was that ld has value and criterion. The value and criterion in policy would be called framework. So both ld and policy contain the abstract world. Also spreading like many other people said like it allows for more arguments on the flow.
