Starter Packet for 2011-12 Topic
I attach here a starter packet for teams looking to begin practicing. It is likely of lower quality than the larger teams already have, but it should allow small and/or new teams to start practicing right away. It includes a currency manipulation aff (donated by Danny), some specific negative against currency manipulation, a specific DA against currency manipulation (from me), and a kinda/sorta generic counterplan, that will work best against affirmatives arguing human rights abuses. You should not be surprised that, coming from me, the Counterplan is both non-topical, and a bit bizarre.
I apologize for the lack of page numbers on the front of the CBU material, but I’m trying to get my whole team using Google Documents this year, they have yet to put that feature into their newest “Table of Contents” function. If they don’t do it soon, I may have to go back to OpenOffice.
This is the packet that Danny and I will be distributing at the coaches conference this afternoon in Rancho Mirage, for those of you planning on attending. We’ll be sure to post anything LD related that comes out of this weekend’s conversations.

This could be a really nice piece of evidence to put a number on how big the impact has been.
