LINCOLN-DOUGLAS DEBATE

State LD Judge Philosophy Booklet new

To allow coaches and debaters additional time to study the paradigms of the 2009 UIL LD Debate State Tournament judging pool, we are posting them online in advance of the meet. Schools should download and print the document, and bring your copies with you to Austin. We will not provide hard copies on-site. Any judges added following the posting will be included in a supplement that will be available at the tournament site.
