This document provides an overview of the key components of a Lincoln-Douglas debate case, including the introduction, definitions, value, points, and conclusion. It explains that the introduction should catch the judge's attention and lead into the resolution. Definitions of key terms should be provided and aim to make the most sense. The value is the most important principle by which the resolution is evaluated. Points, also called contentions, should specifically relate to the topic and value and be structured for maximum impact. The conclusion should emphasize the main point and value.
