Round 3: The USFG should immediately pull out of the strategic and economic dialogue with China
I’m just gonna go ahead and call that a James Logan team will be in finals.
Wu-Kim (from Leland) won their octo, but I don’t know the ballot count.
As far as varsity octos goes, my team (Analy BL) dropped after octos on a split decision, and so did Analy BH (Mica Burnes & Cameron Holl, not Burres-Holl).
In novice, Shawn Currie & Isaac Beckman, as well as Emily Alameida & Mimi Pinna (not Alameda-Pinne) are from Analy, and I know Alameida-Pinna broke to at least quarters.
Leland WK is the other team in open finals.
Leland WK def. Granite Bay KW in finals.
Kunal, do you happen to have finals ballot count, resolution, and/or picture?
I should be able to get the ballot count and resolution tomorrow.
As for a picture, I’m not actually at the tournament, but I can ask around if anyone took a photo.
Mira Loma AH beat Granite Bay AH 2-1 split in semifinals.
The finals res was: The US mortgage industry should be run by state governments.

ben mabie and his partner were awesome in the semi’s round and gave us the best debate of the tournament, even on a sketch res, and I’d like to give him major props for that. I look forward to seeing them in the future. go giants.
I’d just like to make a slight correction: Delta Charter SH stands for Bobby Sarvey and William Hanson, not Kallie Stoker. She was partnered with Kayla Reeves, and by all rights they should have broken as well! By the way, it was Shannon Walker’s first time ever doing Parli, not to mention Nick Schilz’s and Fatima Nasiyr’s first ever tournament period; I’m so proud of our newbies!
Being technically proficient really seems to screw you over in speaker points. Because I have a grounding in circuit style LD debate, I had to answer everything and as a result often had to go at a rapid, although not incomprehensible speed. Went undefeated, but the speaks are in the gutter. But then again, maybe that’s UoP.
dear anonymous, if it makes you feel better and that the speaking judging was more fair, the number one speaker was also undefeated. the number two speaker was 4-1, the number 3 speaker was undefeated, and the number 4 speaker was also undefeated.
Parli tournaments tend to have really bad criteria for giving speaker points. This is especially true at UOP and MLK. I’ve been in rounds where debaters who reached outrounds at State (and they debated very articulately) have been given 10/30 and 13/30.
Anonymous 1, understand that speaker points tend to be purposefully given for delivery and organization only. Though technical proficiency should not necessarily detract from your speaker points, if you sacrifice a strong, confident, and powerful delivery to hit all the arguments (to win the round), a hit in speaker points is expected. I do, however, feel that the number of very low speaks (20-ish and low 20′s) is much too high: tournaments should instruct judges more on what a decent speaks range is.
Don’t worry too much about it, though. If you’re clear and persuasive, you’ll get good speaks eventually (you can’t ALWAYS get judge-screwed with people who give super-low speaks).
Anonymous 2, I’m not sure how that comment would console someone who feels they have been given inadequate speaks. Maybe I’m missing something.
i felt that the person felt jipped; i simply was pointing out that all of the top speakers seemed very deserving of those points.
True, there were a lot of good speakers at UOP as well.
I’ve seen three of the top four speakers at this tournament. All very deserving individuals. Alex delivered one of the best LOO speeches I’ve seen in R4. Miles is generally a boss at speaking. Rebecca has an incredible amount of knowledge about the subjects when she debates and is very confident (though she may benefit from making more explicit impacts and terminalizing impacts :p).
What I was saying wasn’t meant to sound whiny, but in retrospect it really does. It was more meant as statement of fact: LD screwed me up in terms of speaker points. That’s all.
What happened to Wager/Demarco?!!? I saw Wagner/Kreeger at UOP.. are they going to try to win states in Parli now? She’s pretty vicious…. and she always smiles..
The State Champs are still doing Public Forum together in league tournaments. Some of Granite Bay’s other top Parli debaters weren’t at UOP, so partnerships had to be switched up a little.
I would assume the State Champs are still doing Public Forum, and that the switch to Parli is simply because UOP offers no PF division. It’s a pretty simple switchover.
Congrats to Albert/Wooju!
@Ben. Yeah, speaks at MLK were >.<
