Debate Tournament at Westconn =)

Hey everyone, as I said in the post before, I will be posting four posts in a row to catch you up on everything that's been going on! =)
Remember a while ago, I was talking about going to my second debate tournament? Well... On the weekend of the 14th of November, I went to Westconn with the debaters. Like the first one, this tournament was so much and I learned a lot as well! I had to switch partners because the partnership with my first partner was terrible basically...
But anyway.. I won my first round in this tournament! I came into this tournament knowing the evidence much better. Looking back at it now, I was extremely happy about this tournament because even though I only won one round, I learned a lot about the policies of debate. Also, my partner and I had a lot of opportunities to win as well. We had five rounds. The first round, we could've won, but we lost because we didn't realize we had answers to their arguments. The second round, we could've won also but we lost on timeframe (the time in between which our plan compared to theres will happen) We lost the third and fourth, but won the fifth one! =) Haha you're probably thinking, "but you still lost..." Yes, that is true, but thinking back and comparing this tournament to the first tournament, I realized that my debating skills has actually gotten better and I could've actually won more rounds =]
Over the winter sesssion, I will be going to school on mondays- thursdays for a Debate winter session. I am actually looking forward to improving my debating and learning more about the evidence. I am determined to be a better debater by next semester and win more =) Haha when my partner and I first heard the judge say, "Im going to have to vote for the affirmative"... I almost jumped out of my seat. But I stayed calmed. But hearing that made my day! It is the greatest feeling to know that youre just a novice debater and winning your first round is simply amazing =) haha I am looking forward to more tournaments next semester and hopefully... feeling that same feeling of winning more rounds!
