We created RexRegis with a single thought:
What if we created the most efficient TP sourcebook of all time?
See, the sourcebook market today is inundated with “just okay” work.
Think about it: how many briefs will you use out of a 6 aff/6 neg brief sourcebook throughout the year? Maybe 2 or 3 of those negs—if even that. That means you’re using 16-25% of the sourcebook. That’s a no-no.
But even if there were a sourcebook with only neg briefs, it might still be a waste. After all, if you’ve already written on two of the topics, then you’re paying for two useless briefs.
But what if… you got to choose?
What if we put a list of all the cases we’ve written on (last year we wrote 43), and you tell us which ones you want to buy? And you don’t have to buy any except the ones you need?
That’s the dream we had when we created this sourcebook. You get to choose what briefs you want—the ones you actually need.
All for the unbeatable price of $5.50 per brief.
If you made $5.50 writing a brief for two hours ($2.25 per hour!), we’d call that child labor. But we can get away with it because we’ll have enough people purchase the cases to make it worth our while. Plus, our writers would have written those negs anyway for their own use.
On that note, we’re not a fan of using briefs written by graduated competitors who have no idea what the meta is and are writing for a paycheck. If someone’s graduated from the league, there’s no incentive for them to find the best possible cards of evidence—no skin off their back if their brief isn’t the best.
That’s why we only allow current competitors to write briefs.
We also require our writers to use those same briefs. That way, they have an incentive to write the best possible arguments they can. And you get the end result—briefs written by competitors vying for the National Championship.
Another benefit of having current competitors write briefs is that they don’t stop after the summer. Alumni are college students, so they don’t have much time to write about the trending cases during the year. But if you’re still a competitor, you’ll be writing briefs all year.
We write about the cases people actually run, not just the summer trends.
That’s why we produce the majority of our briefs from mid-November (when we have a handle on what cases are actually being run) until Nationals. We’ll keep writing until the year is over. And if you buy a full-year package, that means you get every single brief we produce (at least 40 guaranteed!).
Quality is important to us. And the best way to ensure quality is by utilizing natural incentives: our writers compete with the very same briefs they write for you.
But what about LD?
We heard ya. You want LD resources, not just TP.
There’s a bit of a problem with applying our TP model to LD, though. If we use current competitors for LD, they won’t be incentivized to give you their best work. TP competitors have to give you their best work because they’re required to use it. But LD competitors will want to keep their case for themselves—not publish it for the whole world to see.
So we made two fixes.
First, we must hire alumni to write LD for us. Alumni won’t keep their best arguments hidden—only competitors will. But how do we incentivize alumni to give us their best case? We vet the cases heavily. We don’t accept every case that gets submitted. They have to be approved by our LD director, Ethan Tong, who spent literally WEEKS studying the resolution (no joke—80+ hours). Ethan also competed with this resolution back in 2017, so he knows which cases will fly and which ones won’t.
On that note, Ethan put all his research and thinking into a 120-page resource, which is available for purchase in the shop. That’s the second fix: we give you a handbook so that even if you don’t want us to write your cases for you, you can write your best case with this guide. This handbook will literally save you hours of research and bad ideas. Instead of poring through studies and trying to find where Kant said what people claim he said, Ethan’s guidebook has everything you need—from philosophy to studies to stories.
On top of all of that, we want to be as transparent with you about your purchase as possible. If you want to see a case before purchasing it, we’re happy to let you preview the first page of a case if you’ll just email us (just don’t use it or copy it!). And we tell you about the case—how weird it is, how much stats and stories and philosophy is in it, etc.—on the product page so that you pick the case you want and the case you’ll actually use.
We want to make this year your best year yet.
