Thank you so much to our argument developers (in no particular order): Tim Alderete, Clara Conry, Serena Rupp, Jacob Wilkus, Jared Spiers, Sonya Doubledee, Jackson Hightower, David McDermott, Sophia Dal Pra, Evan Alexis, and Ari Davidson. They deserve the credit for putting out an excellent resource for the policy community, and we appreciate their hard work.

As always, we strongly encourage that tournaments offer a packet-specific novice division whenever possible, which enhances educational value. If you have any questions about the packet, or hosting a novice-packet division at your tournament, feel free to contact me at bmanuel@edgemont.org.
Wishing you a safe and healthy season,
Brian Manuel
