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.

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.

Context date October 2009 In policydebate , a permutation is an argument made by the 2AC to test the competition of a counterplan or kritik testing the comparative desirability of the plan and all or part of the counterplan or kritik against the counterplan or kritik by itself. 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. The easiest way to describe the function of a permutation perm is in the context of counterplan theory. A counterplan functions to test the opportunity cost of a plan. The negative proposes a counterplan that is competitive with the affirmative s plan. For example, if the Aff plan is to grant amnesty to all illegal immigrants within the US, a counterplan could be to declare all illegal immigrants felons. The neg would argue that their counterplan, made impossible by the aff s plan, will garner more benefits than plan. A perm is a way to test whether or not the counterplan and plan are mutually exclusive. An example of a perm would be this Aff plan is to send a mission to the moon. Counterplan is to invest in renewable energy ... December 30, 2005.

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. Debaters constantly use the dropped egg argument to refer to arguments dropped by the opposing team, stating that A dropped argument is like a dropped egg. Once an egg is dropped, it can not be fixed or whole again. Therefore, you should disregard their argument... etc. This argument ... sometimes complex arguments of policydebate.

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. Theoretical debates often ensue as to the legitimacy of agent counterplans.

unreferenced date February 2010 PolicyDebate In PolicyDebatepolicydebate , a turn is an argument that proves an argument the other side has made is in fact support for one s own side. This is as opposed to a take out which merely argues that the argument the other team has made is wrong. The turn can be used against virtually any argument that includes a link and impact or something equivalent , including disadvantage s, kritik s, and case policydebate Advantages advantages to the affirmative case policydebate case . For example, if the negative said The plan increases poverty, the affirmative could turn with the plan decreases poverty or take out by proving the plan didn t increase poverty. There are two types of turns Link Turn Impact Turn Link turns Example If the negative policydebate negative argued the plan policydebate plan would destroy the economy, the affirmative policydebate affirmative would link turn this argument by arguing that the plan would help the economy. A link turn requires that the affirmative control the uniqueness , that is whether the disadvantage will occur in the status quo. In the above example, in order to link turn effectively, the affirmative would need to win a non unique argument, i.e. that the economy will collapse now. Otherwise, the Negative can kick the disadvantage, arguing it is a moot issue, by saying that economic collapse will not occur in the status quo, so the prevention of a non existent event carries no advantage. Impact turns Example If the negative policydebate negative argued the plan policydebate plan would cause the economy to collapse, resulting in war the affirmative policydebate affirmative could impact turn by arguing that economic decline would actually dampen desire to go to war.

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 be There s no way that our plan would cause a big enough disruption in day to day politics to cause your impact scenario. However, if the affirmative was winning no offense elsewhere and that argument ... option here, of course, is to propose a turn policydebate link turn or turn policydebate impact ... conceded and has a bigger impact, so you vote aff .

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 affirmative policydebate first affirmative speaker will backflow their partner who has just given a speech.

PolicyDebate Evidence in policydebate sometimes referred to as cards consists mainly of two parts. The cite contains all relevant citation information that is, the author, date of publication, journal, title, etc. . Although every card should contain a complete citation, only the author s name and date of publication are typically spoken aloud in a speech. Some teams will also read the author s qualifications if they wish to emphasize this information. The body is a fragment of the author s original text. The length of a body can vary greatly &mdash cards can be as short as a few sentences and as long as two or more pages. Most cards are between one and five paragraphs in length. The body of a card is often underlined or highlighted in order to eliminate unnecessary or redundant sentences when the card is read in a round. In a round, the tag is read first, followed by the cite and the body. As pieces of evidence accumulate use, multiple colors of highlighting and different thicknesses of underlining often acrue, sometimes making it difficult to determine which portion of the evidence was read. If debaters stop before finishing the underlined or highlighted portion of a card, it is considered good form to mark the card to show where one stopped reading. To otherwise misrepresent how much of a card was read&mdash either by stopping early or by skipping underlined or highlighted sections&mdash is known as cross reading or clipping cards which is generally considered cheating.
