The
"Good Evidence And Refutation Sourcebook" provides solid
foundation for good debates. In order to have a deep, thorough debate,
you can't throw a million arguments at the affirmative team and expect
to win. Instead, the best teams run fewer, well thought out,
deep arguments that win the round on sheer merit of the argument.
GEARS will allow you to dismantle an affirmative case from the very
core or 'gears'.
On the flip side, if you are affirmative, you don't
want to read some sloppily constructed affirmative case that either has
too much evidence, loosely cut evidence, or a multitude of other
problems that plague sourcebook affirmatives. The cases constructed in
GEARS will allow you to run any one of them at a moments notice and
know that they fall within time, are cut well, aren't plagued by
contradicting evidence, and are throughly persuasive. What makes GEARS different?Most sourcebooks throw 12-20 shoddily constructed affirmatives at you that you won't even use.
GEARS
affirmatives will be solidly constructed so that you can read ANY one
of them in ANY round and be able to defend them solidly. GEARS
affirmatives won't just be squirrel cases that don't have any real life
merit. Cases in GEARS will be on varying topics from large policy
changes to addressing specific problems need to be fixed
Most sourcebooks provide you with negatives that only apply to the case at hand.
GEARS
provides case specific negatives for the affirmative cases listed.
However, your real advantage starts when you open the book to the
Generic section. Powerful disadvantages that apply to many cases,
interesting and useful background information, and devastating briefs
that apply to a wide range of topics.
Have you ever looked at the tag from a sourcebook quote and read something that is completely the opposite?
All of GEARS' evidence will be properly cited and tagged accurately.
GEARS debate will provide a jump start for novices to advanced debaters alike.
