  1. Introduction to DISADVANTAGES

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

  3. 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.

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

  5. The cliff analogy!!!

  6. 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

  7. 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

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

  9. 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

  10. 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)

  11. 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!]

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

  13. 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”)

  14. 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

  15. 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:

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

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

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

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

  20. 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.

  21. 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

  22. 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)

  23. 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!
