THE 2N: GOT A LITTLE CAPTAIN IN
YOU?
Matt Gomez
Overview Captain of the Round
Determine the 2AR Strategist of the Negative
Dictate Positions (on and off)Block Split2NR
Think on your feet… or butt since you’ll probably be sitting downFLEXIBILITY AND VERSATILITY!
Before the Tournament Majority of negative research
Intel Gathering○ Wiki.debatecoaches.org
Case Neg○ Frontlines○ Extensions
New Strats○ Create Strat Sheets
Speed Drills (you need them) Rebuttal Redo's (need those more)
Before the Round (Aff Disclosed)
1. Judging Philosophy2. Find out Aff3. Decide Strat (consult your strat sheets –
a good 2N has multiple options)4. Organize the 1NC5. Brief the 1N on the strat (also should be
done pre-tournament, this should just be a refresher)
Before the Round (New Aff) Tentative guidelines
1. Judge Philosophy2. Review your generics – cp, da, k – decide
the strongest3. Impact file
○ (maybe new solvency mechanism but usually impacts stay the same)
4. Mentally prepare
Finding the Judge Philosophy Tech savvy?
iDebate AppJudgephilosophies.wikispaces.com
Still stuck on paper?Ask questions in a not annoying way
○ “Before we start, is it alright if I ask a few questions?”
Will be discussed more in Judge Adaptation Lecture
During the 1AC1. Get the plan text handed to the 1N.2. Listen and Read the 1AC cards (highlighted,
underlined, and un-underlined, not just tags)3. Cross-Hatch evidence you have questions
on.4. Lean over to 1N and give analytics for case.5. Adapt Strat if you notice weaknesses or
better options
Cross-Ex of the 1AC Also will be covered in Cross-Ex lecture This is perhaps the most important three
minutes of the roundWill determine judge’s view of the affReduce probability of advantages to ZEROHighlight weaknesses – put affirmative on
edgeSet up your arguments
Constructing a 1NC Strategy – basic layout 1st Off – T *2nd Off – K *3rd Off – CP *4th Off – DA
*- stylistic preference• Case
• Adv 1• Adv 2• Solvency
• Why do we put case on bottom as the negative, and on top as the affirmative?
During the 1NC Smart 2N’s will label all the flows for
both yourself AND your partner. If your 1N is lazy and doesn’t pre-flow
case, do it for them (case is the only thing you should be flowing anyways.)
The rest of the time is yours to prepare specific link/case extensions to the aff.
During 1NC C/X Main focus is still prepping the 2NC Keep a loose ear in order to make sure
1. You get an idea of the arguments the 2AC will make
2. You can help out the 1N if they get stumped or need help
During 2AC Flow EVERYTHING
Do not miss a single argument on any flow○ This means you do NOT lean over to your
partner and say “you take x,y,z flows, I’ll take 1,2,3 flows.” That will lose you debate rounds.
Clarify block split Partially start answering 2A arguments
on the flow you know you are going for
2AC Cross-Ex Before the timer goes off, notify your 1N of
questions you need answered and the 1N should get those out of the way in 20 – 30 secondsTheory?Perm Status?All Perm Texts
As soon as you hear the answer the next 2 ½ minutes are rapid prep.
Goal is a little prep as possible taken for the 2NC – leaves you nearly all for 2NR.
2NC Kicking Arguments–
Stylistically, I like to kick out of flows at the top. Cleans up the round immediately, gives you time to make sure you answer the offense, and doesn’t overspread the 1NR
However, some prefer bottom of 2NC, or even 1NR because it keeps aff guessing○ Your call
Go for the strongest/best known to you position Give yourself options Can Effectively end the debate
2NC Cont.. Different 2NC approaches
Case, CP, DACP, DADA, CaseKK, Case (favorite)8 minutes of Case (Andres Special)
What a good 2NC should have DA/CP/K lectures will be more in depth on
what exactly to do in this speech however…. Guidelines
Answer ALL 2AC offenseGenerate at least 2 new offensive arguments –
per flow. (Impact Modules, Theory, Turns Case, etc)
Good Impact Story and Link AnalysisToo many cards = bad 2NC. Not enough cards =
not enough offense. Find a happy medium.
2NC C/X I know you just got done with the most epic 8 minutes of
your life, but calm down for c/x – no judge likes a jerk. 3 C’s
CalmCoolCollected
This is extra speech time for you. Sneakily insert arguments you didn’t get too
Give yourself extra analysis More importantly when they cut you off, let them.
Makes them look bad, not you.
1NR First things first, if the 1N DARES to take your
precious prep time, kindly throw the biggest expando in your tub at him/her. Maybe even the whole tub.
Flow – You’re probably excited about your previous speech, but the 1AR could blow you out of the water and without a good 1NR flow, you’ll look really bad as you re-read your partners flow in the 2NR.
Most Importantly, mentally prepare yourself to be able to go for anything read in the 2NC or 1NR
1AR Flow… duh Have 1N mark off how much time they
spend on each flow ADVANCED: get to the point that you
can flow answers to the arg rather than the arg itself
Decision time is almost here.
2NR Prep With any luck, you’ve given yourself plenty of time – you’ll need it:
Talk with the 1N again – ultimately you get the call and your partner probably won’t say anything but “IDC, you decide” (bad 1N!), but its nice to get a second opinion.
Within 20 seconds your mind should be made up
Have 1N retrieve ALL evidence (tricksy, have them retrieve ev for a flow you aren’t going for)
Prep an outline – you should already have analysis in your head
At least 30 Seconds on the overview
Get up to the podium in the last 5 seconds – strong start.
2NR First is the Round Overview (If you have time)
15 – 20 seconds.○ Confusing Word Alert: Multi-level comparative statement○ Tie together your strat: “If I win X, and X is the most important
thing to your ballot, then even if they win Y & Z, that’s irrelevant.”○ Weigh Offensive Claims: “They have Y, but we are way ahead on
X which outweighs because…” Next, Kick out – close all the doors Next, offense – have to be making comparative
statements Next, answer terminal defense – you functionally need
none unless you can’t turn their offense Finally, end with a strong ballot framing statement
2AR Flow – see what you did wrong –
rebuttal redo Watch Judge DON’T:
CleanTalk to PartnerSmirk
After Round The Same as all the other speeches
After Tournament Update Strats Cut Answers to new args Rinse and Repeat… It’s the life of the
2N.
