Don't worry; I'm planning on trying to find time to do it again. I was too.

So sad. I was looking forward to this one.

@Vader

Yeah, see, you already lost me. NCFCA in general wasn't that complicated or to that level, and definitely not me on my first year! I learned most of my theory (which I really love) by participating in forums after the fact. I far prefer Aff, and generally focus on clearer, slower speaking and simple points. I often go for ideals, too; there were people who told me I was more an LD debater because of my emphasis on values. I tried to run a counterplan once; it went up in epic flames.

@Joshua1

Epic Aff Cases are amazing when you make them, pain in the ass to go against. It seems like every DA just gets flamed

I am a NEG person. I am fast speaker and run 8 Offcase, 4 DA's, 2 CP's, 1 K's, and a Theory

Usually am done within 30sec and then line by line some case points

Most I have done was with a team that was bad and we already made playoffs, so I ran 12 offcase and they dropped 1/2 of Offcase and their case

@Vader

Haha... that's fair. :D Oh well... that was always the fun anyway, waiting to see what kinds of arguments the other team brings up. I did a year of Team Policy with NCFCA and loved it. Our Aff case went undefeated except for one round where the judge clearly had bias.

@Joshua1

Not the exact version, but topics like it. 2017 it was USA NSDA Policy Topic. I would tell you the DA's that were run, but it would ruin the suprise :)

@Vader

I appreciate the tips; thanks!
I honestly had no idea this had been a resolution. I just have been thinking this in general for a while, and decided to do this just for fun. I took some old stuff I had bouncing around in my head and came up with this just this morning. :D

@Joshua1

I would read 35 case cards in a debate. Simply to prove points for people to use prep to use harder args

@Joshua1

Your Round 1 needs to have a link why power to people for things like education is good. I would prepare for that rebuttal since that is a strong argument to run against. This is 2017 topic of how to improve education and have run against it. Hated this topic, ran so many DA and CP against it. 10 OFFCASE on it my g. You need to prove that Power to People is good
