Mission Statement

Welcome to the National Debate Coaches' Association's National Argument List. This wiki is an attempt to compile and share information about custom essay and arguments made by high school debate teams throughout the country. The goal of this project is to democratize the process of intelligence gathering so that all high school debate teams have access to the information that has been compiled by all other squads. In this way, the wiki can both improve the quality of the information available and increase the accessibility of that information.

How To Use The Wiki

Only registered users can modify the wiki. If you are unable to create an account and post information yourself, it can also be emailed to Bill Batterman ([[1]]) and he will post it as soon as possible.

Naming Conventions

Each individual team (not squad) has their own page that houses information about both their affirmative and negative arguments. Please keep the index on this page in alphabetical order and follow the standard format: 2009-2010 school name (omitting "high school" or "school" unless needed to distinguish between schools with similar names), the school's state abbreviation in parentheses, a hyphen, and the first and last names of each debater separated by an ampersand. For example, John Doe and Jane Doe from Southwest Technical High School in Texas would be listed as follows:

2009-2010 Southwest Technical (TX) - Jane Doe & John Doe

If you don't follow the format, one of the administrators of the wiki will fix it but you can save them some time by doing it correctly right away.

What To Include

When possible, complete citations should be provided. If citations are not available, basic information about the arguments made is still very helpful. For affirmatives, a summary of the plan and advantages as well as information about major 2AC add-ons or responses would be appreciated. For negatives, information about the arguments made in the 1NC as well as information about the 2NR strategies that the team has settled upon are ideal.

It is our hope that squads will contribute all of the information that they gather about other teams' arguments. Hoarding intelligence to gain a strategic advantage undermines the overall quality of the information available to all squads and is antithetical to the spirit of clash inherent in contest round debating. Democratizing the process of intelligence gathering distributes the burden onto a much greater number of people, enabling students and teachers to spend more time generating and discussing arguments and less time chasing down citations.

Opting Out

While we strongly encourage all squads to participate in this project, those that wish to "opt-out" can do so by emailing Bill Batterman ([[2]]).
