    So what is the source of your topic guide.

  2. Luke says:

    When are you going to post the January guide for PF?!?!
    You are showing favoritism to LD when PF is clearly better 🙁

    • Blossom says:

      I don’t really think that is fair. Both styles of debate are great, and better for certain people.

  3. Morgan Lunt says:

    Just a quick question. How many cases do you people get per week to Critique?

    • Rachel Stevens says:

      It depends on the week, but the volume is high. At least 30 or so requests, many of which contain 2+ cases (aff & neg, sometimes multiple versions). We try to do a thorough job, which is time-consuming. We currently only have one person (myself- hi!) doing them, along with balancing other important work. As a result, they are coming back to you a little slower than usual right now. I thank all of you for your patience, and I promise all submitted cases will receive a response ASAP.

        Hopefully I’m doing this right:
        I was doing research on the topic, and I came across this page. I noticed the “free, confidential, personalized critique” and got interested, but the link seems to be dead. Is it no longer offered, or do I need to be signed up for something else to access it?

    This resolution sucks.

    • Niko Battle says:

      Haha, are you kidding me. If you think this resolution sucks then you, my friend, are one sincerely incompetent debater. You must lose tons of rounds with that attitude. There is no resolution that sucks, it just depends on your ability to manipulate the resolution to fit within your individual level of expertise. Ultimately if you have an adequate link you can make any argument that you are comfortable with.

    No it doesn’t there is sooooo much info for it. The one for State Quals in WA sucks though!!!!

    Resolved: Just Governments ought to Ensure Food Security For Their Citizens.
