Applying Policy Values to Public Forum
The general underlying premise of argument is the same in all events NFL rules ban counter plans and critiques in public forum in theory Policy Debate Plan
o What the affirmative believes should be done Requires certain text
o Policy- We should draw all forces from Japano Pufo- Contention 1) Withdrawing troops from Japan is beneficial to the United
States
o Even in public forum, in the back of your mind, you should have a line ofadvocacy
o IN case-writing avoid being overly specific, which could be taken as a plan Counter plan
o An alternative to affirmative plan Topicality does not matter for this There are arguments that say that the counter plan cant be topical Net-beneficial
o NEEDS to have a specific counter plan text The United States would do better to take the money and give it to cancer
research
Difference between pf/policy is how the plan is stated Pf- youre stating a general idea and the benefits of it
o Difference between counter plan/counter advocacyo Advantageso You run the plan and then the advantages (3 steps)
Significance/Harm Whats stopping it from being harmed And how do you solve for it *****A LOT LIKE HOW A CONTENTION IS WRITTEN*****
o Solvency Does the plan solve for the harms? Not all resolutions require proof of solvency You do NOT have to FULLY solve for problems in order to solve, as long
as there are benefits
Dissadso Man on an edge of the cliff
If hes standing a mile away from the edge, hes not going to fall If hes standing on the edge, theres a possibility that he will fall Plan= push Depends on how far he is from the edge and how big a push will have to
be
Timeframe= how long will it take Internal link= have to prove that his fall caused his injuries, and they
werent already there
o How to answer a Dissad
Should be
used in case

Look for link turn When they link the argument, is there any way to turn that into
something better
Link take-out There is no link
Impact turns This is actually good for us
o Topicality Should not be happening in United States, but may happen sometimes Dual topicality may happen Structure Definition= why affirmative doesnt meet that definition Reasons to prefer= why is your definition better Violations= why does it violate that Reasons to vote Vagueness= Pf ppl get really really vague
When people run a variety of positions Have a specific idea in mind and STICK with it Make your contention general and your examples being specific
o The opponents cant get out of over generalizationarguments
o Kritiques Challenge the assumptions about the way you think In decreasing capitalism, you assume that capitalism is bad or all It is a criticism of an assumption Saying that we shouldnt look for other places to colonize because we
have problems at home is a Kritique
You can challenge solvency Ways to answer critique Use crossfire to make sure what theyre talking about Use your brain Look at uniqueness
Does it apply specifically to our advocacy or general rule No alternatives? Attack alternative
o Value debate Standards by which the judge values subsequent arguments How you measure good access through value premise
For example: Democracy is better than economy- why? Pofo allows you to bring in how LD and policy run but in a way that is persuasive to
govt
o Truth-based resolutions
