Advice regarding partner...

**Confuxed** · 04-10-2006, 05:42 PM

There are only two people who want to do policy at my school excluding me, but the other two have some irritating flaws.
One is ignorant and isn't too good of a debater (Will camps fix that?). The other is an annoying female dog that blames everyone but herself if she loses, but she is good in congress and impromptu.
Should I even do CX or should I stick to extemp and congress? And if I shouldn't do CX should I do LD (will i get similar benefits college-wise)? Please reply soon as I need to decide what kind of camp I should go to this year.

stick to Extemp and Congress OR recruit a different partner without the flaw. people do NOT change that easily and the irritations will get worse as the season goes on.

Is it worth it to try LD then? I would go to LD camp this summer or...should I got to extemp camp (I'm pretty sure congress camps all suck)

Interesting assumption...is that based on anything?

No, hence the assumption and the "pretty sure." Do you have any suggestions regarding my problem or is there a congress camp that is worth going to...because mentioning congress camp at my school is a joke.

my recommendation would be EXTEMP or LD. Both will help preparation towards the others. Also generally MORE competitions in Extemp and LD during the regular season.

I've never been to congress camp, but everyone who was in congress at FFI my year seemed to have a good time. Alums went on to win a whole bunch of tournaments like Harvard and CFLs
