This document provides guidance on preparing for a "regrets" motion in debate. It explains that a "regrets" motion argues the world would be better if a particular event or thing had not occurred. It does not need to prove eliminating it is possible. The document asks questions to help prepare such as: Are there any similar past regrets? What circumstances warrant regret? What impact did the event or thing have and what would the world look like without it? It suggests outlining what was unique about the event or thing and exploring the impact on society to argue if it would be better or worse without it.
