General: -Slow down on tags, interps, plan/cp texts, and analytics. -I have not heard a debate round in a while, so please do not start off at full speed. -I will not vote on something that I do not understand, so please thoroughly explain if what you are reading is complicated.

Theory -Run whatever theory you want.

Policy Arguments -Fun

Tricks -Not the biggest fan. If you still decide to read them, make sure they have warrants, and are not one sentence long.

Philosophy -I never read a lot of dense FW’s, so there is a good chance I will not be able to understand what you are talking about. If you explain it well, you should have no problem.

Kritiks -Go for it. -Make sure you read a ROB or FW of some kind and link offense back to it.

Dislocure -I will vote for disclosure theory. -Please disclose all broken positions on the NDCA wiki. -The aff has to tell the neg what they are reading (advocacy texts, advantages) before the beginning of the round, unless it is a new aff.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me before the round starts.
