After the First Affirmative Constructive speech 1AC , it is assumed that the Affirmative team can completely solve all of their harms unless the speaker indicated otherwise. This solvency can be mitigated by defensive arguments, e.g. corruption will prevent the plan from being implemented to the extent necessary to completely solve. An offensive argument as opposed to a defensive argument might change from one stock issue to solvency, one of which could be a Disadvantage. If the Negative team can prove that the effects of the plan make the harms worse than they are in the current situation, then the Affirmative team cannot guarantee positive benefits and therefore no reason exists as to why the plan should be adopted.

PolicyDebate In policydebate , a drop refers to an argument which was not answered by the opposing team. Normally, a dropped or conceded argument is considered true for the purposes of evaluating a debate. Silence is compliance. Sometimes, Silence is consent. Debaters tend to use this as a general rule while evaluating a debate round. If a team says nothing against an argument, then because silence is compliance , they must agree to whatever the argument was. An argument is normally considered dropped if it is not answered in the speech in which the opposing team has the first opportunity to answer it. Generally, in the Structure of policydebate 1AR first affirmative rebuttal , the speaker is required to answer all arguments made so far by the negative team. This is because if the affirmative chooses to respond to the arguments in the Structure of policydebate 2AR second affirmative rebuttal , it is abusive to the negative because the affirmative gets the last speech, leaving the neg with no way to refute any argument made. Many debaters refer to dropped arguments as conceded, unanswered, or unrefuted. Some judges will not evaluate some arguments, even when they are dropped, such as arguments labeled voting issue s but which are unsupported by warrant policydebate warrants . For example, the sky is blue, vote affirmative is an argument that most judges would believe does not need to be answered.

PolicyDebate In policydebate , an actor is an entity that enacts a certain policy action. If a plan were to have the U.S. send humanitarian aid to Sudan, then the actor would be the United States federal government. Many times, actors are subdivided into more specific agents . The most common agents include the Supreme Court of the United States Supreme Court , the President usually through the use of an Executive order United States Executive Order , and Congress . Sometimes, the actors get smaller and devolve into Executive agencies . For example, on a previous high school debate topic the use of renewable energy the plan could use the United States Department of Energy Department of Energy . Sometimes the Negative will use a counterplan to solve for the harms of the affirmative and the most common method of doing so is by the use of an agent counterplan , which simply does the mandates of the Affirmative plan through the use of another agent. Sometimes, the Negative will even use another country. If the Affirmative plan were to send peacekeeping troops to Democratic Republic of the Congo Congo , then the Negative would have Bangladesh or any other country , do it.

Unreferenced date February 2008 PolicyDebate In policydebate , defense refers to argument which has no implication other than mitigating an argument made by the opposing team. For example, A will not cause B is a defensive argument, while A will cause B is an offensive argument. Defensive arguments may often be conceded to kick out of positions. For example, a team wishing to kick out of their disadvantage politics disadvantage could concede the argument Fiat policydebate Fiat takes out the link. Although this argument is frowned upon by the community, the fact that it is conceded gives it 100 percent weight in the round and thus takes out any offense policydebate offence the other team may have on that flow policydebate flow . For example, an Turn policydebate impact turn on a disad with no internal link becomes irrelevant. Why most coaches and judges encourage you to have more defense is because the offense is exactly that offense. So if the negative goes for only one argument in the 2NR, and argues that there is no affirmative offense on the flow, they essentially win the round, because at any risk of the CP, D A, K, whatever, solving, they win the round.

PolicyDebate In policydebate , the flow is the name given to a specialized form of notetaking, which debaters use to keep track of all of the arguments in the round. It incorporates specialized abbreviations and notations to allow debaters to keep up with the rapid speed of delivery in most speeches. Some examples of these abbreviations are DA for disadvantage and K for kritik critique . Flowing can be done on paper or on a laptop using a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. In collegiate debate, computers may be used in any round, however in high school this is sometimes not allowed. Those tournaments that follow the National Forensic League regulations may or may not allow laptops depending on the district, but many so called national circuit tournaments and some states allow the use of laptops in round. Debaters often prefer to use legal paper to be able to capture the numerous arguments read on each position. Numerous sheets of paper or tabs in a spreadsheet are used each round as debaters normally use one sheet for each different type of argument read. Debaters often save flows from previous rounds to keep records of both affirmative cases and strategies used by opponents. Backflowing After the Structure of policydebate 1NC and Structure of policydebate 2AC , the negative policydebate second negative speaker and the affirmativepolicydebate first affirmative speaker will backflow their partner who has just given a speech.

Unreferenced date February 2008 PolicyDebate In policydebate , offense refers to arguments that make a definite value judgment about an advocacy. For example, Ice cream is bad for your health is an offensive argument, while Ice cream doesn t make you healthier is a defensive argument. At the end of the debate, the judge must make a decision between the advocacies of two teams. Offense is the way that teams definitively differentiate between the value of their advocacies so that the judge can make an informed choice. Debate is impossible without offense a debate between someone who said ice cream isn t perfect and someone who said ice cream isn t the worst food ever would be inconclusive because neither argument actively provides direction in choosing whether or not to get ice cream. In a situation in which one team has offensive arguments supporting an advocacy and the other team only has defensive arguments against it, the team with offensive arguments will often win. Teams often use the phrase risk of a link or risk of offense to describe this situation so that the judge can immediately identify the sole source of direction in making her or his decision. Generally, the tendency for judges to err on the side of voting for offense has been called an offense defense paradigm, and most judges use it for lack of a better metaframework for analyzing arguments. For example, if the 2NR goes for a politics disadvantage with a very tenuous link, the affirmative s natural response might ... possible causal connection with which the judge could pick the best outcome.

Most permutations are tests rather than advocacies and thus do not change the fiat of the affirmative plan in the world where the negative does not advocate the counterplan or the kritik.
