CMSDL Tournament Four/Five JV/Varsity Previewing
T4/T5 Conference “A” Accepted Colonization Preview and Quick Negative Research Guide- this has the Previewed Harms/Solvency Zapata submitted with an Economy Harm for Space Colonization as well as a one-page negative guide with research links to answering this Preview
What are Previews? They are new, researched Harms and Solvency arguments to add to the Core Files affirmatives. They are optional for a team to research but may add a strategic advantage to the team that researches them. Teams are required to share full descriptions and full citations for their researched affirmative Harms and Solvency arguments and we will release these to all other coaches in your Conference to facilitate researching responses along with links to research responses. Any team may use a Harms/Solvency argument previewed by another school in their Conference so long as they use the same arguments and same cited sources.
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.
