-Both of us have noticed a disturbing trend where neg's essentially pester/bully the aff into disclosing which AC will be read pre-round once pairings go up. This norm makes no sense if there's no sense of reciprocity where the neg also agrees to disclose what it's 1NC strategy will be. Past 2NRs are not sufficient. Neg's probably already enjoy a reactivity advantage and this practice exacerbates that, especially for kids with coaches who are good at putting together quick case negs. Keep in mind that we are 100 percent on board with post-round disclosure and make sure we regularly update the wiki after debates with first 3 last 3, tags, and advocacy texts of all our positions. |

-All this being said, we are happy to disclose which AC we will read before the debate if you agree to comply to the following interpretation. If you don't agree to comply, please don't bother messaging us for the AC. We are happy to engage in the theory debate in the round itself. |

-Interpretation: If the neg does not agree to an arrangement where they disclose their 1nc off-cases (e.g. NCs, T, theory, K’s, DA’s, CP’s) either 15 minutes before the round or 30 minutes after the aff is disclosed, whichever comes first, then the aff may refuse to disclosure which 1ac they are reading if the aff has 2 or less AC's disclosed. |
