Printing and Filing (updated Fall 2019)

Core Files Printing Vendors 

This year we are working with a few print vendors.

For those who need a CPS vendor code to pay for the Core Files, please contact Riverside Graphics, Clyde Printing, or Crossmark. For those who can pay by check or credit card or do not need a vendor code, you may contact any of the below vendors.

How many copies should I order?

At a minimum, each school will need one copy for every pair of 2 students who will compete together at tournaments and at least 2-3 extra copies as backup and for coaches to keep at practice and for tournaments.

Riverside Graphics (CPS Vendor #18443):

Shipping up to 15 sets within the Chicago Area = $35

Please make sure schools are aware of the following:

1.) Please have orders directed to christie@riversidegx.com.

2.) NO order will be processed until payment has been arranged. As an approved vendor (#18443), we can accept official CPS Purchase Orders, checks, cash and major Credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Amex and Discover).

3.) Orders are only accepted through the participating schools. No orders from individuals will be accepted, i.e., no having individual parents order one copy for each child.

4.) Please allow 3-5 days from receipt of the PO. Items are due to ship UPS Ground unless other arrangements are made.

We suggest that schools do not wait until the last minute. These orders are printed on demand and are processed in the order they are received, although we are well equipped to move them out as quickly as possible.

Chicago Debates Core Files File Folders

In order to be prepared to compete, each Chicago Debate team needs to have an evidence box, within which is a set of Core Files, properly filed. 

We recommend using basic manila file folders, which are easy and cheap and you may already have around your school.

Some teams prefer accordion (or expanding) files to file folders. Here is a solid accordion file option. Note that this won’t fit your entire Core Files, but would work well if you selected one affirmative out of the options in the Core Files.

Chicago Debates Core Files Evidence Boxes

Consider getting a box for each team of 2 students to carry their evidence to and from tournaments.
