Find your own weak link
The argument you'd least like to defend is the one to fix.
Why rounds are lost in rebuttal
Cases are usually fine. What loses is spending four minutes on the wrong argument.
How we work
Structure, evidence, triage
New debaters write cases full of assertions and assume a judge will fill in the reasoning. Learning to see the missing step — in your own case first — changes results faster than any delivery work.
Then comes evidence, handled honestly. Cutting a card so it says something the author didn't is both a losing strategy and a bad habit to build at sixteen.
And rebuttal is triage: two arguments, weighed explicitly, told to the judge in a way they can write down. That's a teachable skill, and it's where most of our time goes.
Our principles
Three beliefs behind the method
Evidence in context
Misrepresenting a source loses rounds and teaches the wrong thing.
No promises about results
We coach skills. Trophies and admissions depend on far more.
