Where is the website where paradigms are supposed to be posted

public service announcement: if you dont have a paradigm posted on the official paradigm list and you are on the TOC strike sheet, you are doing a disservice to debate. it is my understanding that strike sheets will be active on wednesday - you owe it to the students who have poured their time and money into this activity to have a detailed and coherent paradigm posted by then. there are some judges in the pool for several rounds whose paradigms are nowhere to be found.

vbd powers that be-

i have a request on behalf of hapless anonymous posters everywhere. will you change the template so that it doesnt say your email address “(will not be published)”? because people interpret that to mean that it wont be possible to see their email address when they post, but it is. it’d probably take a reasonably savvy person about 2 minutes to do.

thanks

Quick question:

If you are an NFL qualifier this year but your tournament was held after the application deadline, assuming they keep NFL qualifiers as bids, would that count as a bid for next year?

At-larges go to individual debaters, not teams.

As I said on the last thread, given the committee level voting on an entire field — not one vs. one applicant matchups — it makes no sense to make an endorsement fest or to make bold-faced comparative judgments.

But, if you want to even begin to suggest that Jane (or my other two students) is not worthy of attending, I will happily take on the very easy challenge of defending any of them. No coach should have to do that on a day that there student is given a great opportunity though.

Oh, and before we start - just so you know:
Jane was in FOUR bid rounds, winning one, and losing the other 3 on split 2-1 decisions. One of those split 2-1 losses, by the way, was the quarterfinal round of Bronx. I don’t need to be comparative, you can make that “scoreboard” judgment for yourself.

Much love.

and just who might you be.

as much as id like to congratulate anjan (who is also paying me) i must say there is something messed up when 1 team gets 3 at larges. How Jeff Merril from Mtn View has not recieved one yet, is beyond me.
