This page is mainly just a file dump of my, as you guessed it, old topic prep. I will be leaking my masterfiles (Aff and Neg) after finishing all tournaments on a specific topic – mainly NovDecs and JanFebs – in reverse chronological order (most recent ones first). Enjoy these to gain inspiration on how you would like to organize your own cards, cases, and hard-researched prep! Or use these as practice debate topics with already well-prepared cases during the off-season!
