08Flowing Fundamentals

Columns by speech, short tags, mark drops. Make the judge’s job easy.

  • Set columns for AC/NC/1AR/NR/2AR. Group similar args to answer together.
  • Shorthand: util, FW, KT; star potential voters.
  • Drills: shadow-flow at 1.25x; rewrite to one clean page; write a 90s RFD from your flow.
