2011/12 CMSDL Core Files Outlines
Outlines enable you to review all of the frontline arguments in the CMSDL Core Files, both case arguments and off-case arguments, both affirmative and negative, without the evidence, to be sure the argument claims being made are fully understood.

2011/12 CMSDL Core Files Labels
The CDL has produced labels for filing the Core Files. These labels are printable on Avery labels called “Avery White File Folder Labels 5366″. They will help make the filing process less time-consuming. Simply print the labels, adhere to file folders, and file all of the pages from the CF into the appropriate file folder.
Lincoln Elementary has improved upon the standard Core Files Labels, particularly for Novice debaters (who will often use the Core Files as is for most or all of the season), by adding page numbers to each label, making it very easy for MS debaters to put the correct files into each file folder.

2011/12 CMSDL Argument Limits
We’ve finalized the 2011/12 Chicago Middle School Debate League Argument Limits for the season.
Note that in response to feedback that we received we removed the “case previewing” provision to the previous, draft version of these. We did, however, retain an opportunity for previewing a new “advantage” to a CMSDL Core Files affirmative case, for Tournament Four. We will also be introducing a critique through a Core Files supplement prior to T4.
