Case builder
Pick the format, fill in the parts, and the builder assembles the case, counts the words, and estimates your speaking time against the limit. Everything saves in this browser as you type. Copy, download, or print when it is ready.

Assembled case
Pace
Most volunteer judges follow 140 to 160 words per minute comfortably. Set the slider to your real pace: read one contention aloud with the timer and divide the words by the minutes.
Templates
The parts follow the Lincoln-Douglas case guide, the Public Forum outline, and the Policy guide. For finished examples, open the case archive.
