Competitors debate a different side of a resolution in each round of a tournament.
As the name of the event indicates, evidenced arguments must be drawn from assigned readings provided by the tournament director. Debaters are also free to employ un-evidenced arguments or common knowledge to defend their position. No outside research is permitted. Team Limited Research Debate resolutions may be propositions of fact, value, or policy. The type of resolution to be debated will be revealed to each competing school in a general e-mail packet that each school will receive two weeks before the competition.
