Episode 79 - Changes Coming to NTC (plus the final Pasquarello-Little contest)
Introduction (0:00:00): Spencer returns from his jaunt. The Break (0:05:34): Results from Chester Bedell and Weekend Two of the National Trial Competition, and updated case balance numbers. Changes Coming to NTC (0:12:00): Justin puts some direct questions to NTC Co-Chairs Dave Hagan and Ryan Bauerle. Why was the first version of the case so at odds with the community case-writing memo? Why were major case changes released 16 days before the first competition? Will you allow coaches to vet case problems before their release? Dave and Ryan answer the questions -- and make two big announcements about NTC Nationals. Predictions Contest (0:55:49). Robert attempts a comeback against Phil, and Phil attempts an impression of Robert. Auditions for a Potential Sponsor (1:18:01). Eat fresh.
