Frontline Bingo
As a team, predict the eight most likely attacks on your case, write frontlines for each, then test them by having teammates deliver the attacks live.
Draw a grid with eight squares. As a team, fill each square with an attack your case will face this topic: responses you’ve heard in rounds, seen in briefs, or would run against your own case.
For each square, write a two-part frontline: a one-sentence analytical answer plus the card you would read if you had time. Keep each frontline under 20 seconds of speech.
Then test them. Teammates take turns delivering the attacks as convincingly as they can, and the case’s owners respond using only their frontlines. Rewrite any frontline that falls apart. Go into your next tournament with the grid memorized, and second rebuttal becomes a matter of execution instead of improvisation.
