VBD Videos: 2006 Victory Briefs Round Robin Prelim I

posted by Bietz on May 21st, 2007

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Here is a video of a prelim round from the 2006 Victory Briefs Round Robin. The round features Ryan Cooper of Westlake High School in Texas on the affirmative versus David Weeks of Highland Park High School in Texas on the negative.

Tomorrow will be the VBT Final Round 2006.

The round appears after the jump.

If you are using a Mac, I would definitely install the free program Flip4Mac.

    “Nietzsche writes:
    But if we called a leaf a leaf, then we’d really not be referring to leaves at large, but rather an empirical leaf, one that man can poke. However, when the speaker references the signified leaviness of leaves, we abstract infinite leaves into a characature of leaf!
    The implication is that the AC made arguments. The specificity of our fantastic Nietzsche is thus obviously preclusive of their ability to linguistically convey ontologically subjective concepts via epistemologically subjective media.”

    Hehe, I remember being very peeved by VB’s decision to record my round against Diehl at the second half of this tournament last year. I was trying to argue against micropolitics with the classic “there’s only 2 people in the room to convince and you’ve just alienated one of them,” but the camera in the back seemed to spell impending doom for the argument.

    Also, because gossip is fun -

    Rumor has it that this round pissed off one of the judges (some ex-debater lawyer I think) and made him quit judging. Tru?

    bobby - i think that was becca traber this year. apparently the guy hadnt judged in some ridiculous number of years and had signed up to judge for the rr and the tournament and ended up not judging the tournament since he decided he was done with judging entirely.

    Hahahah how did this round come back to haunt me a year and a half later?

    And… Bobby is right. This round did make some judge quit. I still feel bad about that.
