  1. Cut and formatted evidence consists of three essential parts:

    1. An exact excerpt of the text and/or a graphic that a debater plans to refer to in a debate round either by reading as a direct quote or summarizing
    2. The surrounding context cut to the closest reasonable boundaries such as the beginning and end of the surrounding paragraph
    3. A complete citation

    Generally, it also contains a tag line. See samples.
