  1. File uploads are strongly recommended as some formatting may not be retained if evidence is copied directly into the evidence-exchange chat.

    Prior to the tournament, have evidence files named, saved as pdfs (recommended), and organized in order to upload promptly, if requested. Examples include:

    • AC/1AC
    • Every piece of evidence that may be presented in a debate round saved as individual files (recommended)

    Ensure that each file includes a proper citation in accordance with the rules.

    Lengthy pieces of evidence (more than 2,000 characters) cannot be copied and pasted into the evidence-exchange chat.

    Brief pieces of evidence (less than 2,000 characters) may be shared via the evidence-exchange chat if created and formatted in Google docs or other web-based word processing platforms. Sharing direct links to evidence sources is not permitted.
