Each team is also expected to submit a three-page argument sheet outlining their arguments in support of their proposition, as well as the evidence supporting each of their arguments. The argument sheet should also outline the anticipated arguments of the opposing team and the planned rebuttal. A bibliography of sources used should also be included (not to be counted toward the three-page limit). The argument sheet is due at the beginning of class on the date stated in the course schedule. Here is a suggested template (you should aim for either two or three opening arguments): Part I: Opening Proposition: Resolve that... Argument 1: ... Evidence: ... Argument 2: ... Evidence: ... Part II: Rebuttal Proposition (of opposing team): Resolve

Topic: Proposition of Negative Team: Resolved that merit-based systems are preferable to seniority systems
