Framework Vault

The Framework Vault is a collection of over a dozen common traditional Lincoln Douglas frameworks written by Triumph Debate’s expert staff, designed to help debaters get started and expand knowledge areas. Philosophy is an incredibly difficult area of Lincoln Douglas debate to grapple with, especially for students who do not have coaches, teammates or backlogs of resources. This is our way of helping to lower the entrance bar for Lincoln Douglas debate. We hope that this will serve as a resource for debaters looking to learn how to write a Lincoln Douglas debate framework, find examples of cut framework cards, or to give debaters frameworks they can practice responding to. We plan to continue expanding our framework vault, to provide you with quality Lincoln Douglas frameworks.
