About Block it
Block it is a repository of ready-made debate blocks: responses to the arguments teams are reading right now on current PF, LD and Policy topics, built from evidence teams have disclosed. It is part of Card it, alongside the card search.
Each argument is broken into its chain (uniqueness, link, internal link, impact) with the responses that answer each step, ordered the way you would read them. Your own side gets frontlines, the answers to the attacks on your case, and Policy and LD neg positions get their own sections: disads, counterplans, kritiks, topicality and theory.
Filter by response type (non-unique, no link, link turn and more) to find the answer you need mid-prep. New responses are added every week. Block it comes with Card it Premium ($5 a month) and Debate it All ($10 a month with a free 1-week trial, or $60 for an 8-month season pass).
