• Adam Torson: Agree with just about everything here. The part about evidence citations give me pause, however. Certainly debaters should have to have a full citation with dates and author qualifications available should their opponent (or I guess the judge) want to examine it, but I'm not sure why they should have to read the full citation before every piece of evidence. For some empirical claims I guess it makes sense to me for the date to be read out loud, but beyond that it seems unnecessary.

• Sfdgsdfg: Bring back lddebate.org That site was solid. limitlessdebate is decent, but nowhere near that level of content. NSD blog is passable. This site is supposedly the main site, but going by the comments(or lack of comments) it is terrible. We don't hate anyoneover whatever controversy happened over last TOC. That's in the past, and TOC is terrible and filled with controversy anyway. Bring back lddebate.org. There are way too many fragmented sites, and that was hands down, the best one. 10 times the discourse would be generated on there compared to this post here, and navigating between posts there actually worked. It was a solid forum. This is a joke.

• Sfdgsdfg: Wow, this is incredibly disappointing to read. Do coaches that judge actually do stuff like this? You're a coach before a tournament, but while rounds are going on, you're a judge who is voting fairly, but above all, answering questions and giving advice to both debaters. That's how we improve. For students without coaches, it's the only chance to ever get quality advice. "I typically end up giving away lots of stuff and can't really control myself." You guys are actually serious, and this makes me angry. How is this even a legitimate question?
