College varsity here. I see a lot of the antiblackness/militarism/security/queer K affs at tournaments but I’m wondering if you’ve seen any particularly creative or compelling ones either this year or ever. This is only my second year debating so I’d love to hear what you guys have seen. Especially weird K affs, but ones that did well. Idk. Just trying to do some research. Thanks!

like the one you would least like your opponent to violate in round?

Hi, I'm trying to set up a speech and debate team at my school. We were too late to sign up for tournaments and so we're using this year to focus on getting used to how to actually form a debate.
None of the members have ever been in a debate tournament or team so in asking for advice.
What should we go over? What formats? What meeting ideas to get us ready for next year?
I’m from the US and apparently 2-on-2 format is what’s used most during tournaments?
