Matt Gomez Debating the Disadvantage (DA) Slide 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2ZYIdmdx1 4 Part One: What is a Disadvantage? Slide 3 Uniqueness What will occur in the status quo Factors for good uniqueness Post-dating things change Brink why is the squo good but not guaranteed Qualifications who knows what Slide 4 Link What does the plan do that changes the status quo Factors for good links Specificity links about the 1AC vs the resolution Threshold is the plan enough to change the squo Diversity different ways the plan changes the squo Slide 5 Internal Link (i/l) What that change causes. Not always highlighted because its similar to the link Sometimes they are warrants inside the link EG: Auto Industry DA Engaging in Buy America policies departs from G20 norms which collapses global trade What is the internal link? Slide 6 Impacts Why is changing the status quo bad Factors for good impacts Magnitude how big Timeframe how quickly Probability how likely Turns case how does it interact with the 1AC Slide 7 Part Two: the Negative and running the DA Slide 8 The Negatives Goal If the aff has advantages, the neg has disadvantages Definition of a disadvantage: Loss or Damage as a result of The harm the plan causes Prove the impacts of the plan arent good enough to outweigh the DA of the plan. Slide 9 1NC: Your Job for the DA Where to read it: As a net benefit to the CP? Directly after the CP flow As an independent DA? After everything but case Make sure it has EVERY part. Slide 10 The Block Extending a DA or multiple DAs through the block? Follow these generic guidelines (see specific speech lectures for more specific rules) Whoever takes the counterplan should take the net benefit. Whoever doesnt have the counterplan should get the other DA and case if the 2N didnt already. Try to keep LIKE WORLDS together Slide 11 How to Extend a DA Step One: DA outweighs and turns the case Step Two: Any additional impacts if needed (no more than 2) Step Three: Uniqueness debate Step Four: Link Debate Move On. Slide 12 Negative Uniqueness Debating Step One: Extend your uniqueness by giving a short summary (Extend our PIT 6/20 evidence from the 1NC, The G20 Summit has just met and agreed upon an action plan to eliminate protectionist policies ) Step Two: Evidence comparison, what makes yours better than theirs? Quals Predictive vs descriptive Speculative vs conclusive Slide 13 Negative Uniqueness Debating Cont Step Three: Indict their evidence if you didnt already Use the arguments above Step Four: Uniqueness Wall 1-2 more uniqueness cards Slide 14 Negative Link Debating Either Link or Impact will be where you spend the most time Step One: Extend 1NC Link Cant just explain it generic apply it to the aff Prolif DA Repeat Steps 2-4 from UQ Slide 15 Negative Impact Debating NOTE: SHOULD BE DONE AT TOP OF FLOW ON IMPACT CALC Step One: Impact Calculus The DA outweighs and turns the case Step Two: Turns case analysis Step Three: Turns case card Step Four: New impact module Slide 16 2NR on the DA Should usually be combined with either a CP or Case Layout is same as 1N except should be ALL extensions, no new cards. Top of the flow: Explain what the aff DIDNT DO Even if and If I win statements. Slide 17 2NR Cont Next, Impacts all on top- Impact Calc Turns Case (lots of allocation here) Answering any cards or analysis Line by line extending 2NC cards and analysis using the formula Slide 18 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93CsOgvNU oE Part 3: Answering the DA Slide 19 USE YOUR AFF Throughout the following section Ill show you how to use cards from your 1AC to win you the debate without needing to read new cards Slide 20 How to answer a DA 6 categories: 1. Case Outweighs why your advantages outweigh the DA 2. Non-Unique the squo has changed/something has triggered the link 3. No Link The plan doesnt cause the change 4. Link Turn The squo causes the DA and plan solves it 5. No Impact their impact isnt real 6. Impact Turn their impact is actually a good thing Slide 21 Strategies Strategy #1 for answering the DA 1. Case outweighs the DA 2. Non-Unique 3. No Link 4. Impact Turn Slide 22 Strategies Cont.. Strategy #2 for answering the DA 1. Case outweighs 2. Non-Unique 3. Link Turn 4. No impact Slide 23 The Double Turn Do NOT read a link turn AND an impact turn: the link turn actually links you to the impact turn you just flip the DA around EG: Buy America DA: Original argument plan increases protectionism. Protectionism causes trade war Link turn is plan DECREASES protectionism. Impact turn is Protectionism good. For example - Steel Slide 24 Case Outweighs? Use impact calc More on this later More importantly, make your impact story a lot more clear than the negative impact story Slide 25 Non-Unique Underestimated argument defensive? The Status Quo is the opposite of what they say EG: Buy America DA US agrees on G20, proves no protectionism Slide 26 Non-Unique Cont Makes your link/impact turn OFFENSE EG: Link Turn Plan key to RESTORING Non-Protectionism w/ NUQ: DA is a new advantage because squo isnt cooperating and plan causes cooperation. w/o NUQ: still offense IF they go for the DA, but not a new advantage because the squo is ALREADY cooperating and the plan just causes MORE cooperation, doesnt RESTORE it. Slide 27 Affirmative Link Debating No Link 2AC Step One: Extend applicable cards from 1AC EG: Extend our ____ evidence from the 1AC that says plan doesnt happen alone, china and Euros are on board with us Step Two: Read New Link Cards and Analysis 1AR Step One: Extend 1AC or 2AC cards and explain why the 2NC extension doesnt answer them Step Two: Read 1-2 cards IF NECESSARY Slide 28 Affirmative Link Debating Cont.. Link Turn 2AC Step One: Extend Applicable Cards from 1AC Step Two: Cards & Analysis 1AR Same as No Link 1AR Slide 29 Affirmative Impact Debating No Impact 2AC Step One: The plan encompasses? Step Two: Cards Step Three: Analysis Slide 30 Affirmative Impact Debate Cont 1AR Step One: Extensions of the 2AC Step Two: Repeat steps 1-3 of 2AC for any NEW impact scenarios New Card (1) if necessary ANSWER THE TURNS THE CASE ARGUMENT AS A NEW IMPACT SCENARIO Slide 31 Affirmative Impact Debating Cont Impact Turn 2AC Step One: Card Step Two: Maybe your 1AC has the opposite impact Slide 32 Affirmative Impact Debating Cont 1AR Step One: Extension Step Two: 1-2 more cards Step Three: Response to negative answers. Step Four: Separate QUICK impact calc for impact turn Slide 33 2AR Strategies If they go for DA/Case: Spend 3 on Case: If you win case, majority of the DA goes away because you should have more impacts. If they go for DA/CP: Spend More time on DA because CP is irrelevant without a NB Slide 34 2AR Layout Top Big explanation of impact calc, why your impact story is better, and use of 1AC as a big turn to the DA Next, Uniqueness debate to makes turns offense Extend first, answer theirs next Slide 35 2AR Layout cont Next, Go for the impact or link TURN Extend first, (If Impact, impact calc next), (If link, why your story is more plausible next), answer theirs last. Finally, IF you have time, do the no link or no impact Why? 2AR should be OFFENSE OFFENSE OFFENSE
