my debate partner and I are having problems with debate opponents say we read too much evidence?

Question

teacher says we aren't signposting on flows either what is signposting?
opponents yell at us while debating and I think we are pretty good please tell me what I am doing wrong and the right way to debate thanks!

Answer 1

I think they are saying you are just reciting facts...You're not using the facts to argue for your side...You're not showing how it bolsters your side.

Answer 2

signposting means you tell the judge where you're going next. for example, once you're done with answering the cp, then you say, "next, on the disad.." so the judge knows when to switch to the next flow.

i think it's okay if you read a lot of evidence as long as you're clear and slow down a little on the tag lines. depends on your circuit, since in some regions, you aren't allowed to spread/read too much evidence. let your opponents have your cards after you read them during your speech so they have no reason to complain.

btw where do you debate?
