I take notes during cross-examination. I evaluate cross-examination when determining speaker points. I do not enjoy debaters who refuse to answer questions. Therefore, you need to weigh impacts, distinguish between the implications of different and competing arguments, tell me where to look first and why, tell me what pieces of evidence are most important and why they are, etc. I will not read cards that are only referenced by a tag or author with no argument attached.
Strategy is Preferable.
I don t like wasting paper, so having 15 sheets out of the 1NC and only 3 in rebuttals seems problematic. I especially detest it when 10 of those 15 contradict each other, and the other 5 are no longer than one card each. Develop your arguments please. Also, if you re going to go ahead and ignore this rule, at least make sure you put a label on all of those 15 sheets of paper and be consistent with what you re calling them. I tend to confuse easily, and the team that clears up the picture first is the one that will most likely be rewarded.
