Hey David,
I have two questions:
Is it a good idea to make new arguments in the 2AC? Is it a good strategy?
Also, in T3 (this year), my partner and I ran a counter plan against a previewed case (Asteroid Mining) in the 2NC. Most of the judges said that it is not okay to run a counter plan since it is the negative block; another judge said, it is okay to run a counter plan because it is still a constructive speech.
So, should we run a counter plan in the 2NC?
