What changed, and what is coming.

Visit once and every page you open is saved to your device; one button saves every page so guides, cases, evidence, and the practice tools work with no connection. The new program handbook puts the season calendar, course outlines, equipment list, and tournament checklists on one printable page for a sponsoring teacher.

Every factual claim on the site is now listed with its basis, alongside an index of every outside domain we link to with automated link-check results. Three moved links were found and fixed, the eight research studies gained a stated limitations line, and the 2027 National Tournament dates were confirmed against the NSDA.

A 190-term glossary, twelve original Congressional Debate bills and resolutions, a Start here page with four thirty-day paths, and three credibility pages: editorial standards with a corrections log, privacy, and accessibility.
