Welcome to Circuit Debater 2, a resource where TOC qualifiers can post resources for younger debaters to learn from. Please refer to the names on the left to see debaters' resources.

The Circuitdebater Library is a free wiki resource meant to provide explanations and resources on all of the most common arguments in LD debate. The goal of the library is to make debate more accessible and be a resource to learn about all types of styles of debating. ([http://pf.circuitdebater.org Click here for Circuitdebater PF])
'''[http://circuitdebater.org/circuitdebater/createPage/CreateDebater.html Click here] to create your own debater page.'''
=== How can I help contribute? ===
</big>
The Library still needs more resources on many arguments, and '''<u>we need your help in editing these pages!</u>''' If you feel qualified, please edit existing pages to make them more comprehensive and create new pages on topics that we haven't written about yet. You must create an account to have access to editing pages. Please see the [[Contributing to the Library]] page for more information on how to create a page, exemplar pages to model new pages after, and more.
 
=== How can I help spread the word? ===
Notice: If you are a debater whose page was on the old circuitdebater and you want to edit your page, please message [[User:Zsiegel|Zachary Siegel]] because by default the wiki won't let you edit it.
Our hope is that the Circuitdebater Library becomes as mainstream as the HSLD wiki! No matter your role in debate, you can help make that happen.
 
* Students can link the Library to their HSLD wiki pages and share the Library with their coaches, novices, and other students at their school.
==TOC 2019==
* Judges can link the Library to their Tabroom paradigm, offer the Library as a resource during their RFDs when appropriate, and share the Library with other coaches they know.
Resolved: The United States ought not provide military aid to authoritarian regimes.
* Coaches can share the Library with fellow coaches and school administrators, provide it as a resource to their students, and contribute to the Library by making edits and adding resources.

Circuit Debater Library

The Circuitdebater Library is a free wiki resource meant to provide explanations and resources on all of the most common arguments in LD debate. The goal of the library is to make debate more accessible and be a resource to learn about all types of styles of debating. (Click here for Circuitdebater PF)

How can I help contribute?

The Library still needs more resources on many arguments, and we need your help in editing these pages! If you feel qualified, please edit existing pages to make them more comprehensive and create new pages on topics that we haven't written about yet. You must create an account to have access to editing pages. Please see the Contributing to the Library page for more information on how to create a page, exemplar pages to model new pages after, and more.

How can I help spread the word?

Our hope is that the Circuitdebater Library becomes as mainstream as the HSLD wiki! No matter your role in debate, you can help make that happen.

  • Students can link the Library to their HSLD wiki pages and share the Library with their coaches, novices, and other students at their school.
  • Judges can link the Library to their Tabroom paradigm, offer the Library as a resource during their RFDs when appropriate, and share the Library with other coaches they know.
  • Coaches can share the Library with fellow coaches and school administrators, provide it as a resource to their students, and contribute to the Library by making edits and adding resources.
