我们邀请了资深裁判Andrew Li为大家介绍参加线下赛的6点建议，帮助大家充分准备，发挥出最佳表现！

2023 NHSDLC SUMMER 线下赛参赛建议

作为一个辩手，首当其冲的就是赛前准备好辩题所需要的资料。将比赛相关文档打印出来或在电脑里整理归类，并对它们进行清晰的标注。当然，生活方面的准备也是非常重要的，大家要提前计划好比赛期间的出行安排。

Preparation is essential before any debate tournament. As a debater, topic material preparation is paramount. We suggest that you print out or keep your materials in a folder on your laptop, including but not limited to your cases, blocks, summaries, crossfire questions, and evidence. Since you cannot access the internet during the round, it is recommended that you clearly label your materials to avoid panicking and unable to provide materials on time.

If you don’t live in the city where tournament takes place, traveling will also be a crucial part of your journey. You should plan your travel arrangements in advance, book tickets and accommodations. If you travel by plane, be sure to have a plan B: what if the plane is delayed? Can you buy a bullet train ticket at the last minute? Or can you leave earlier to avoid such incidents?  If you are lucky enough to live in the tournament city, you also need to plan your travel time to ensure that you can arrive at the venue before tournament begins.

这点是老生常谈的话题了，不管是线上赛还是线下赛，准时守时都是辩手们必备的良好习惯。赛中建议大家每个环节都自己计时，时刻关注自己剩余的时间，掌握好发言节奏。

Time management is essential for both online and offline tournaments. Punctuality is highly appreciated. We all know your opponents are going to get a BYE if you are 15min late, so please arrive on time. It’s important to set alarms before you sleep to wake up on time. In addition, it's also recommended that you keep track of your own speech.

合适的服装虽然不能直接帮助你获胜，但却也能给裁判展示出你对待比赛的态度，给他/她留下良好的第一印象。线下参赛建议大家都着正装，尽量穿着正式，让自己更加自信，从气势上压过对手几成。

Although appropriate dressing code cannot help you win directly, it can demonstrate your attitude towards the tournament and leave a good first impression. For offline tournaments, participants are advised to dress up formally. You’ll be more confident in suits and that will give you an edge over your opponents, no matter how experienced you are.  If you don't have suits, try to wear something formal, but never wear slippers and shorts to a debate.

线下赛更加考验辩手的整体素质，比赛中多一点手势，与裁判多一点眼神交流。适当的身体语言可以增强我们的表达力，帮助我们更加清晰地表达自己的观点和突出重点。

Unlike online competitions, where a small screen makes it difficult to show yourself, you will have plenty of opportunities to impress your judges in offline tournaments. Body language is a way of non-verbal communication, such as gestures and eye contacts, which will help deliver your arguments better. Great gestures not only attract your judge’s attention but also helps you stand out among your peers.

在辩论赛中，我们可以认识到来自不同地方、不同学校的选手，建立起自己的社交网络。这对于我们未来的学习和发展都是非常好的。通过交友，我们可以扩大自己的人脉圈，获得更多的机会和资源。

Offline tournament gives you an excellent opportunity to communicate with other debaters, especially in the auditorium and the ones you meet in rounds. It is a great chance for you to meet other participants from different cities and schools and build your own social network. Maybe your opponent now will be your partners in the future.

比赛前充足的睡眠也是很重要的。虽然大家都对辩论有着由衷的热爱，但是熬夜准备辩题的行为还是不可取的，毕竟第二天你需要一个清醒的脑子和流利的思维去拆解对方的论点。

We also want to remind you that getting enough sleep is very important. We appreciate everyone’s passion, but it is not a smart choice to stay up late to prepare the night before tournament. Your head needs to be clear to come up with adequate responses during the round next day. Besides, if you sleep over and miss calls from our staff, your opponents are going to get an easy win anyway. (Yes, I’m talking from my experience)

Finally, I would like to send NHSDLC's best wishes to all the debaters who will participate in the upcoming off-line tournaments.

Remember: debate is not about winning or losing. What you learn along the way and friends you make is more important than the outcome. We wish you all the best.

记住：辩论不仅仅是胜负，你们在比赛过程中学到的和交到的朋友比成绩更重要。祝愿你们在暑期国赛都能收获满满！
