We want YOU to help with the Victory Briefs Wiki!
The Victory Briefs Wiki exists as a new, easy-to-update information database for high school debate. Articles chronicle the history of tournaments, teams, and the activity. An important function of many of these articles is to form a new, easy-to-update tournament results archive. This is not meant to replace the live tournament coverage and results posted on VBD, but instead serve as a repository for the history of tournaments and leagues from across the country.
This is a free archive intended to preserve the history of and provide publicity for tournaments and leagues. It is not intended to advertise summer institutes or debate companies. It is our hope that tournament directors, coaches, and debaters can work together to produce complete histories of tournaments (local, regional, and national) and leagues (local, regional, and national) here in this free archive.
We are soliciting your help in making this work. We have listed representative articles below so we have a template to write in the histories of tournaments, and are hoping that -- as with web sites such as Wikipedia [1] and Memory Alpha [2] -- the community can work together to update, revise, and correct said histories.
We'll be posting links to Wiki resources shortly for those who are interested in helping but not yet familiar with the easy-to-use Wiki format.
