lol "there are more reasons to vote for the affirmative than there are ld debaters"

In the end, he only had a few key arguments, and won with those because they were strong. Neither debater tried to win by spreading the other out of the round (a fancy way of saying avoiding clash). I respect that, and I wish more LDers (especially old fashioned judges and coaches) were friendlier to faster, more technical debate, as long as it retains its persuasion and and academic integrity.

This was a very good round. As a high school LDer, I get really pissed off when people use speed and carded evidence, but ONLY when they use those methods to avoid clash, skimp on analysis, and not link through. All the AFF's arguments were well constructed, and he used his increased speed (not nearly policy speed, I know) to go deeper with his analytics instead of just reading more arguments.
-
he's a little faster than normal. not bad for nationals i guess
-
thats not even 250.
try maybe 130, 150 tops.
nevertheless, this is a nice speed for ld'ers
-
hahaaaaaaaaaaa hahaha he talks so high ....
-
I debate policy too. I didn't say that people don't go faster, they go much faster. What I said was that people who are unfamiliar with policy often perceive this kind of thing as fast.
-
I debate policy- i'm pretty sure im like 3x faster than this and alot of people are alot- he's going like 250 wpm
-
If you've never debated policy before, this is extremely fast.
-
how is this fast
This is not LD. This was last years policy topic, and you are running DAs, referring to links, and talking at Advanced Policy speed.

This is LD POLICY. It is a policy topic with DAs and links. The question being discussed is whether speed is acceptable.

FYI, the Affirmative (Senior, Spencer Harris from Drury University) wins on a 5-0 decision over the Negative (Sophomore, Jessica Furgerson from Western Kentucky University).
Congratulations to both debaters on reaching the finals!
