What is a clash point

A clash is the point where two sides disagree. The key clash is the one the judge must resolve to decide the round.

How to find the key clash

Ask: which disagreement, if resolved in my favor, wins me the round? That is the clash to focus on.

Framing the clash for the judge

Tell the judge why this clash matters and why your side wins it. If you frame the clash, you frame the ballot.
