Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)Hello fellow debaters! As a 4-year debater ready to graduate from high school, I have decided to help out anyone looking for guidance on how to "cut a card" also known as debate evidence. The clarity and reliability of your arguments rely on the quality of evidence that you read and present in your debate rounds so be sure to use this as a bible for compiling a reliable debate database.

# First, you need someone to download "Verbatim" to your computer. It will look like the " symbol inside of a letter O at the top of your screen (if you use google chrome which I think is great for finding debate evidence). You can get your debate coach, librarian, or technical assistant at your school to download this onto your computer for you for FREE.

# D I S C L A I M E R: Okay, now that you have found an article that you want to read in a debate round, you have to cut it down to read only what you want to say in the round. THIS IS A BIG NOTE: DO  N O T  DELETE  A N Y  PART OF THE ARTICLE YOU USE! THIS COULD TAKE AWAY A BIG PIECE OF THE AUTHOR'S INTENDED ARGUMENT AND VOID THE VALIDITY OF YOUR ARGUMENT, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A FAIRLY SHORT ARTICLE. Now, if you are trying to cut evidence from a 46 page MIT review or a Harvard Law review then take everything from the first sentence of the paragraph you want to read all the way to the end of the last paragraph that you want to read something from. Then, under the "card" that you will cut, make sure to put " * ellipse from source " so that if your opponents or your judge ask about it, they know you are not trying to trick them into thinking it is the whole article. Whenever you have to use an ellipse from a source make sure that you can access the whole article if necessary.
