Kaylee Kim and Vivaan Mathur, 1st Place
Annabelle Zhang, 2nd Place
Top Speaker: Vivaan Mathur
RFD: this was a very
close round! I voted for the con in this round. I felt the con contentions
school starting later caused problems with parent's work schedules and
extracurricular activities would decline were slightly more strongly supported
than the aff's contentions on students not getting
enough sleep and students not putting enough effort into school due to lack of
rest.
Annabel: You are a superstar!! You did a fantastic job
this round. It is not easy to give 3 speeches. You had a good case and great
evidence. You also did well in crossfire. You are a clear and easy to follow
speaker. I would suggest to be sure you directly
refute your opponent's arguments against your case.
Kaylee: You had a
good case! I liked your use of impacts to show why your case had importance.
Your case had a lot of good evidence. You also did great in cross
fire. I would suggest either making your case a little shorter or
speaking a little more slowly in your speech.
Vivaan: You are a clear and easy to follow speaker; your speeches were very organized. You showed innovative thinking in crossfire, asking good follow up questions. I would suggest to be sure you directly refute your opponent's arguments against your case.
