Disclosure
All teams at the UDNC should post affirmative disclosure including their most recent 1AC cities to the NCDA Case List by March 21. They should also make sure previous negative positions they've run at recent tournaments are updated prior to the tournament. This resource helps teams from different leagues prepare for a national level competition. It will also help all teams to develop negative strategies and refine your affirmative cases.

If you have any questions about disclosure or what should be disclosed, your coaches and program league staff can help you determine what should be posted.

Instructions for creating a new entry can be found here.

New arguments do not need to be disclosed before they have been presented in a debate, but the wiki should be updated in a timely manner once new arguments are run.


All teams in the Debate en Español Round Robin will disclose all arguments in addition to the provided files being run at the tournament. This is a nacional division where students will have access to a packet, but are encouraged to supplement that packet with their own research and work. Students should upload their argument to the DEE Carga de evidencia (Evidence Upload) folder by March 21. This resource helps teams from different leagues prepare for the Round Robin.

If you have any questions about disclosure or what should be disclosed, your coaches and program league staff can help you determine what should be posted.
