Introduction to DISADVANTAGES

Advantages & Disadvantages • WHEN YOU’RE AFF: • You say the plan leads to good things (adv. ) • WHEN YOU’RE NEG: • You say the plan leads to bad things (disad) • You need to win that the good effects of the plan bad o/w the good outweigh the bad effects of the plan

When you’re NEG… DISADVANTAGE • 1. Debt ceiling will pass--Obama’s political capital is key. • 2. New spending will get the GOP off board-prevents debt ceiling increase. • 3. Debt ceiling freeze collapses the economy. • 4. War, nuclear conflict, etc.

When you’re NEG… PARTS OF A DISAD • • UNIQUENESS LINK INTERNAL LINK(S) IMPACT

The cliff analogy!!!

When you’re NEG… UNIQUENESS • UNIQUENESS: says that the disadvantage is not happening in the status quo. • Uniqueness evidence should be updated before each tournament

When you’re NEG… LINK • LINK: describes the effect of the plan • Generic vs. specific link

When you’re NEG… INTERNAL LINK(S) • The internal link draws the connection between the effect of the plan, and something bad that will happen (the impact) • You can have more than one internal link – The more internal links you have, the less “true” your disad is

When you’re NEG… IMPACT • The impact is the bad thing that will happen as a result of the plan (as explained by the link and internal link)

When you’re NEG… IMPACT CALCULUS • • • TIMEFRAME MAGNITUDE PROBABILITY DISAD TURNS THE CASE *tell the judge which of the three (TF, mag, prob) is most important. [the one you’re winning!]

When you’re NEG… WHEN SHOULD YOU READ THE DISAD SHELL? • In the 1 NC!! • You should extend the disad answer the aff’s arguments in the block (either 2 nc or 1 nr) – Or, you can kick it* • Extend the disad in the 2 NR (or kick it)

When you’re AFF… ANSWERING DISADVANTAGES DEFENSIVE ARGUMENTS: - non-unique - No link - No internal link - No impact OFFENSIVE ARGUMENTS - Link turn - Impact turn - (internal link turn) - Add-on advantages (“add-ons”)

When you’re AFF… ANSWERING DISADVANTAGES DEFENSIVE ARGUMENTS: - non-unique - Test the uniqueness at all levels - General uniqueness - Link uniqueness - Internal link uniqueness - Impact uniqueness

When you’re AFF… ANSWERING DISADVANTAGES DEFENSIVE ARGUMENTS: - No link: the plan doesn’t have the effect that the neg claims - Ex: plan doesn’t cost much money - No internal link: - No impact:

When you’re AFF… ANSWERING DISADVANTAGES OFFENSIVE ARGUMENTS: -Link turn – has three parts: - Non-uniq - No link - Link turn -Impact turn.

When you’re AFF*… DON’T DOUBLE TURN YOURSELF!!!! * ever

• DON’T DOUBLE TURN YOURSELF!!!! • Double turn: when you read a link turn and impact turn

When you’re AFF… ANSWERING DISADVANTAGES Offense, offense! Should you impact turn or link turn?

When you’re NEG… EXTENDING THE DISAD – or – KICKING THE DISAD If you’re extending the disad…. . - Remember to extend ALL PARTS of the disad (uniq, link, intl link, impact) - Do impact calculus (the DA o/w the case) - Timeframe Magnitude Probability DA turns the case - Answer all aff arguments - Compare link vs. link turn & read more link ev. --or– compare the impact vs. impact turn and read more impact ev.

When you’re NEG… EXTENDING THE DISAD – or – KICKING THE DISAD If you’re NOT going for the disad (“kicking it”) - If they only read defense – just extend their defense and explain why it makes the DA go away - If they read offensive args, you can NOT just kick it by extending defense - Beat back the link turn w/ more links so that they can’t win on link turns

When you’re NEG… STRATEGY When you’re going for a disad, what other arguments should you read? You will need either: - lots of case defense (take out the aff advantages) - a counterplan that solves the case (the DA must be a net-benefit to the CP)

When you’re NEG… STRATEGY - Sometimes a DA can be read as a case turn - Saves you time (don’t have to read cards they’ve already read) - It becomes a case debate rather than an off-case arg - But it’s essentially the same thing!
