Carissa 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2013 There are tons of file out there for the Neg on A-Spec, but as the aff how can you properly answer this argument? Usually the neg just drops the argument, but what if they don't? I feel like this would be an idiotic arguemnt to lose to, so is there any EVIDENCE or AMAZING theory argumetns I can read in the 2a?

debatefool 22 Report post Posted March 4, 2013 1. We meet-your plan goes through the USFG 2. You meet-your plan goes through an specific part of the usfg, like the DOT 3-Counter interpretation-the affirmative is allowed to specify their agent through the USFG 4-Counter standards A. Predictable ground-key to an balance of ground between both teams to allow for an viable amount of ground on the agent; they still get the same agrs, but USFG bad specific. B. Topic edu- we debate less about the resolution and more about the actors on the plan, that are really not that import. They get the same DA" regardless of the actor. 5-Don't vote on potential abuse-there only arg is that they get potential abuse and everything is potentially absuvie 6-there's no in round ground loss-make them warrant a ground loss as a reason for you to reject the team for not specifying their agent 7-Cross X checks-you should of asked in cross x 8-Plan text says we reserve the right to clarify-we'll clarify now; the plan goes through X actor. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyeZOAM 444 Report post Posted March 4, 2013 I always put something like "all appropriate agencies" or actually specify my agent if there is a necessary solvency mechanism. That is the safest way to prevent this from being a viable 2NR strat. if you don't specify your agent, you should make sure to win the framing of in-round abuse, because as long as you're not no-linking out of DAs and stuff based on your Agent choice, there won't be a whole lot for the Neg to weigh assuming you win that framing.

nathan_debate 745 Report post Posted March 5, 2013 I would say cross x and normal means checks. We will never not defend the USFG as an agent for plan. No abuse period. We just increased your ground massively. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
