Summer Releases Included ($30 value)

By summer, several leagues release new policy debate resolutions. Blue Book authors gather topical overviews and three “spotlight cases” after resolutions are released. Blue Book owners use the digital code inside their book to download the Summer Releases, supporting the following leagues:

  • NSDA. Their resolution releases in January every year after its membership votes.
  • NCFCA. Their resolution releases in June at their national tournament.
  • Stoa. Their resolution releases in May at their national tournament.
The releases will be similar to Unit III of Blue Book consisting of a full chapter of a history of the topic plus “Understanding the Status Quo,” where the authors list a variety of issues the resolution sets up. A followup student worksheet to test reading comprehension is included. Each of the Spotlight Cases consist of an affirmative case, 2A extension evidence, and a full negative brief ready to run in a debate round.
