Why You'll Love Dominate This Edition What's Inside
  • 3. It's written from a winning perspective.
    We've had enough of sourcebooks with cases we'd never run anywhere and ideas that make light bulbs collapse into black holes. We don't dump our debate fantasies on paper for you to read. We give you the most practical strategies.

    2. It's fresh.
    Out with the same old vanilla, in with 31 brand new flavors. All at the same time. Old, stale arguments are old and stale. We'll bring you a breath of fresh air. You deserve it, and we guarantee it.

    1. It's written by the best.
    We all know that debaters who do well at tournaments aren't always the best debaters, and the best debaters don't always do well at tournaments. We pick our authors based solely based on their unparalleled record of argumentation.

  • Authoritative analysis.
    Coaches, a writer of the resolution, and two National Champions count among our authors.

    More authors. More insight.
    Four heads are better than two. It's simple, immutable math.

    Better briefs.
    The only LD sourcebook to bring you briefs brings you better briefs. Each edition comes with a rich set of concisely-cut, round-ready briefs.

    Exceptional clarity.
    The same depth of argumentation in last year's edition, now more user-friendly than ever.
  • The resolution is broken down into four core areas:

    Resolutional Analysis: We first give a bird's eye view of the resolution, then discuss various interpretations, burdens, the role of values, pitfalls to avoid, and strategies for the resolution.

    Breaking the Topic Down: Important parts of the topic are broken down into articles explaining what they are and their roles in the debate round.

    The Cases: The core cases that you will see this year are here, ranging from straight up defense of the resolution on the affirmative to kritikal arguments on the negative.

    The Briefs: Precisely carded evidence for arguments, ready to be read in-round without further trimming or cutting, all beautifully formatted and ready to print.
