Other Resources

Kankee Briefs is not the end all be all of debate resources - feel free to use any of these external resources linked below that may be helpful. These are primarily focused on Lincoln Douglas and Policy Debate as that is what we are most familiar with as an organization, though there is likely some cross applicability. Almost by definition, this list is inherently non-exhaustive, so if you find any good resources not listed here, please email it to karkingkankee@gmail.com for it to be added to the list.

Remember that even if a website is inactive or for a different event (particularly policy), that does NOT mean those resources are worthless. Even if the author isn't currently contributing to their blog or YouTube channel, much of the previous content is evergreen, meaning it is still useful here and now. We do not vouch for the quality of any of these resources listed below, but we hope any link we do add will bring some value to you.
