I have been an assistant coach for Andover for 10+ years and did debate in HS. I am fine with speed if you are very clear. I do not like open cross-ex and will mention that as part of my RFD if you continue to try it after it has been agreed on to not occur in round! I’m not a big fan of Kritics but it better be great and really convincing if you run it. Otherwise, policy maker is my default, stock issues is my second level when needed. Topicality is everything in a round. If you drop it or violate, you lose. Lastly, please have specific links to generic disads. If I start hearing the exact same DAs run over and over with literally zero changes from the last round, I know your arg has alt causes and I can't ignore that. Counterplans should not be fully topical, and you must convince me that you absolutely cannot effectively perm. The more generic the counterplan, the less I will give it weight in the round. Convince me that this CP is actually the best alternative for the specific harms that Aff addresses.
