a) Best Senior Debater…Those Brookfield kids and Aaron are pretty impressive.
b) Best Junior Debater…G-bhat
c) Best Sophomore Debater…Osahon
d) Best Fresh(wo)man Debater…I hear the BC machine has some impressive Novi, and Sheboygan North has some kid named Laurel Mills. Remember that name.

f) Debater With Most Potential…Osahon or Nick
h) Best Team/Pair…Brookfield Central TY/LW

2> Best Round Overall: State Finals….going for theory made it memorable.
a) Best Round You Watched…state finals. that analysis is above
b) Best Round You Debated In…The 5 rounds against Nicole and Max this year were all really close and, not to be blunt, but very highly competitive.

3> Best Program Overall–this year, it was brookfield central, but I would venture to guess that next year, Marquette will dominate.
a) Best Program For Novices…Allison seems to do well with the Brookfield Novices.
b) Best New Program…Is Wausau West new? If they are, then Wausau by default.

d) Program You’d Most Like To Debate For (Other Than Yours)…Marquette….without the whole ‘forced mass’ thing.

c) Best Disadvantage…Relations
d) Best Kritik…I am not familiar with the concept of this, how you say, kritik.
e) Best T/Theory Argument…ASPEC

5> Best Specific Skills
a) Best 1NC…Its a 1nc. But Tyler’s always clear, and he gets alot of ink on the flow
b) Best 2AC…Asad: he makes effecient, clear arguments, and they’re usually tough to answer.

6> Other Stuff
a) Favorite Tournament (in-state)…Appleton East :P
b) Favorite Tournament (out-of-state)…The Glenbrooks

d) Weirdest Round You Saw/Debated In…The Multitude will meet at Noah’s house. ’nuff said
e) Best Non-Debate Experience at a Debate Tournament…Jeremy Alexander literally tackled me in the hallway of an Illinois hotel. That was quite the experience.
f) Funniest Thing You Stumbled Upon While Researching…Noah and I used to read this Leslie evidence that said deforestation caused an ecological ‘gigadeath’. That, or “brazil key to prevent disasterous consequences”.
g) Thanks Wisconsin Debate, for four pretty sweet years of debate.

d) Weirdest Round You Saw/Debated In…The Multitude will meet at Noah’s house. ’nuff said

And despite Nicole’s utopic ideas of the multitudes gathering, we will be having chips and dip.

e) Best Non-Debate Experience at a Debate Tournament…Jeremy Alexander literally tackled me in the hallway of an Illinois hotel. That was quite the experience.

You forgot about the part where he quite literally started punching you in the ass. I bet you had a sweet welt there.
