Hi Scott The general standard is that teams are allowed any paper resources at all, but no electronic resources whatsoever. This comes from the Rules of WUDC, as an attachment to the WUDC Constitution, Section 1.3 which is below. "1.3 Preparation ... 1.3.3 Members are permitted to use printed or written material during preparation and during the debate. Printed material includes books, journals, newspapers and other similar materials. The use of electronic equipment is prohibited during preparation and in the debate." You can see it at this website: http://flynn.debating.net/Sydrules.htm And the constitution that incorporates those rules is hosted here: http://flynn.debating.net/wudccons.htm Hope this helps, James Quoting Scott Thomson <[log in to unmask]>: > Good day - > > Just a quick inquiry as to the extent to which students are allowed > to have materials for prep after the announcement of a motion.
