It was almost sunny all day



When we awoke this morning in Denton, it was sunny (and thus hot), which was a welcome change from the torrential storms hammering Texas. With the sun above us, we began the day with practice rounds: the JB lab debated the AM lab, MTA debated KLO, AH debated BC, and WMM debated RDK. Labs commenced after the practice round where students focused on a variety of skills to improve their rebuttals and cases. The same schedule of practice rounds and lab continued after lunch. Many of the labs worked on writing blocks, while others ran more rounds, while some labs focused solely on rebuttal redos. After dinner, the following electives occurred:

Counterplans and counteradvocacy - Conrad and Timmons

Running and Answering Topicality – Babb and Mullins

Judge adaptation – Love and Beard

Utilitarianism – Robinson and Jonathan Alston

Drill-Round up – Abell and O’Neal

Flowing Drills – Anderson and Fortner


The evening ended with a group lecture on tournament preparation given by Beena Koshy and Aaron Timmons.
