Tournament: Harvard 2014- All Ridge VLD | Round: 1 | Opponent: Any | Judge: Any
For the 2013-14 school year, Ridge's LD program has not had a debate "coach". We boast a dedicated administrator and coach for the overall forensics program, and many gracious volunteers who chaperone and judge-- both of whom, without the help of, we would unable to attend tournaments.
The arguments that we break or run are therefore solely a product of our 9 person Varsity LD squad. This breaks down into my fellow senior on this wiki, Jack Wilson, and I in our 4th year, 4 debaters in their 3rd year, 2 debaters in their 2nd year, and 1 debater in her first year.
As such, Ridge Varsity LDers at the 2014 Harvard Invitational will not be posting all of our cases to this wiki. This is largely because- without input from circuit judges until we hit the national circuit scene- our cases are never final. Our positions are works in progress, that we adapt and change as we see fit following input from judges and positions' ability to fare within the rest of the debate community.
Because we are sympathetic to the aims/spirit behind disclosure, here are exceptions to the general rule above:
- If you, the opponent, and I, myself or another Ridge debater, agree before the round, we will be open to "disclosing" our cases to each other to have a more thoughtful and strategic round.
2. If it would be educationally enriching for you, we are always available to discuss or share specific citations with you in person or via email.
