Counterplan Basics
Counterplan is an alternate plan run by the negative
Usually (99% of the time) It is designed to solve the case advantage While avoiding a disad
![Page 6: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why are CP’s the neg’s best friend?
Counterplans do the following: Consolidate the debate – one or 2 sheets of
paper rather than three or four. Control the Debate – Options Reframe the Debate – away from the aff
case.
![Page 7: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Competition Can the plan and the counterplan occur at the
same time?
This is called a permutation.
On the aff, always say perm – do both.
Think of competition like a link to a disad. If the neg does not win a link to the aff, is there a tradeoff?
Counterplans 101
![Page 8: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Mutual Exclusivity Can two things occur simultaneously.
Net Beneficial Should two things occur simultaneously? Would doing both cause something bad to
happen?
Only need to prove one.
Competition

Opportunity Cost Does doing one thing prevent or foreclose the
opportunity to do something else?
Mutual Exclusivity
![Page 10: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
External The CP avoids a disad that links to the plan Ex) Agent CP and the Politics DA
Internal The action of the CP generates a net benefit
that either the plan alone can not achieve or a combination of the two will coopt.
Ex) Executive Order CP and Presidential Powers Net Benefit
Net Benefits
![Page 11: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CP Text: The United States Federal Government should increase domestic surveillance
Net Benefits
1. Key to solve terrorism (evidence)
1NC
![Page 12: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Unconditional The status quo is no longer an option However, topicality is still a prior question
Conditional The status quo is always an option The negative can kick the CP anytime.
Dispositional Vague, always ask the neg to clarify Generally, the neg will tell the aff under what
conditions the neg will kick the counterplan
Counterplan Status
![Page 13: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
If and under what condition the negative can kick the counterplan.
“What is the status of the counterplan?” The first question the affirmative MUST ask the negative in
cross-x after the 1NC.
Three ways to run a counterplan: Unconditional Conditional Dispositional
Counterplan Status
![Page 14: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
There are multiple types of counterplans: PICs Agent CPs Advantage CPs Condition CPs Consult CPs Delay CPs
Types of Counterplans
![Page 15: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The counterplan defends the mandates of the plan except for a certain part(s)
Plan Inclusive Counterplans
![Page 16: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Does the plan through a different actor
Examples: Executive Order Counterplan Supreme Court Counterplan
Net Benefits Internal: Process Driven (Presidential Power) External: Politics
Agent Counterplans
![Page 17: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
These counterplans advocate alternative approaches to solve specific advantages.
Ex) Counterplans that solve global warming Ban fossil fuels Ratify the Kyoto Protocol Adopt Cap and Trade Incentivize carbon capture and storage
technology
Advantage Counterplans
![Page 18: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This is an advantage counterplan, but does a bunch of things. Also called the multiplank counterplan
Ex) Legalizing marihuana will solve for immigration and terrorism
Counterplan: The United States federal government will do the following:
Plank 1 – pass comprehensive immigration reform. Plank 2 – attack ISIS
“Grab Bag” Counterplan
![Page 19: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
These counterplans only do the plan if a third party agrees to enact something in exchange for the plan.
Also known as a quid pro quo (Latin, this for that)
Condition CPs
![Page 20: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
These counterplans do the plan only if another party says yes after a period of consultation.
Text: The United States should enter into a genuine, prior and binding consultation with ______________about whether or not to [insert plan mandates]. The USFG will implement the outcome of the consultation.
Recipients of consultation: Countries in the resolution Countries that have an interest in the topic countries
Consult Counterplans
![Page 21: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Delay Counterplans
This counterplan defends doing the plan later in the future
Example: Do the plan after the passage of CIR. The net benefit would be the politics DA.
![Page 22: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Delay CPs – Legitimate?
The neg will say that resolved demands immediacy: Resolved (Random House
Dictionary 2006) 1. to come to a definite or earnest decision about; determine (to do something): I have resolved that I shall live to the full.
The aff should say the opposite Resolved (Online Plain
Text English Dictionary 2009) “Resolve: to form a purpose; to make a decision; especially to determine after reflection.”
![Page 23: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

If conditional Say, “The counterplan is conditional, we are not going for it.
The perms are just a test of competition” Answer any theory arguments
If dispo Make sure the criteria established after the 1NC cx are met Answer any theory arguments
If unconditional You can’t
Kicking the CP
![Page 25: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A robust 2AC against the CP should include the following:
Permutations Offense Solvency Deficits Theory (Think POST)
Answering the CP
![Page 26: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Remember, if the aff wins that the CP is not competitive then it is like saying no link to a disad – if the judge can do both then there is no reason why voting affirmative prevents the counterplan from also happening.
Good perms to make: Perm – do both Perm – do the plan and all non competitive
portions of the counterplan
Perms
![Page 27: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Remember, a permutation is a test of competition. “Advocating the perm”
Legitimate permutations: Any combination of all of the plan and all or
part of the counterplan. Ex) Perm: do both, Perm: Do the plan and all non-
competitive portions of the counterplan
Legitimate Permutations
![Page 28: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Severance Permutations Severance permutations attempt to do part of
the plan and all or part of the counterplan and thus "sever" out of part of the plan.
Intrinsic Permutations Intrinsicness permutations attempt to do all of
the plan, all or part of the counterplan, and something in neither the plan nor the counterplan.
Illegitimate Permutations
![Page 29: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Remember, offense is a reason why the counterplan is bad.
Ways to generate offense: Reading a disad to the counterplan Straight turning the net benefit:
Impact Turning Link Turning
Offense
![Page 30: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Reasons why the counterplan can not solve the harms/impact identified in the 1AC advantages.
Ex) Foreign Actor CPs Reasons why federal action is key
Ways to make solvency deficits: 1) Your mechanism is necessary 2) Their mechanism is insufficient 3) Their counterplan links to the net benefit
Solvency Deficits
![Page 31: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Reasons to reject the argument/team
Status based Conditional/dispositional
Content based Type of CP
Theory
![Page 32: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
1. It destroys aff time allocation because the block and 2NR aren't predictable.
2. Dispo solves your offense. You can still read your alternatives to the plan, but the aff can stick the neg to an alternative. because of the time the aff can allocate to turning an alternative.
3. It’s not reciprocal. The aff is forced to defend the plan, but the neg can defend the plan and any number of multiple worlds. Skews the debate in favor of the neg
4. It’s a voter for competitive equity.
Conditionality Bad
![Page 33: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
1.Forces the affirmative to make bad strategic choices either a. the counterplan becomes functionally conditional which
moots the efficacy of 2AC arguments and causes a time skew; or
b. We straight turn the counterplan. This causes a race to the bottom, which we inevitably lose because the block gets to read more cards.
2. It is not reciprocal – the aff is stuck with the plan but the neg sets the terms for if and when they get to kick the counterplan. That skews the debate in favor of the neg.
3. It’s a voter for competitive equity.
Dispo Bad
![Page 34: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
1. They aren't predictable. They can counterplan out of any minute part of the plan, which is unpredictable.
2. They encourage vague plan writing by having the affirmative eliminate words the neg can PIC out of.
3. There is no solvency advocate or literature. This means it's impossible for the aff to garner offense against the counterplan.
4. It's a voter for competitive equity.
PICs Bad
![Page 35: Advanced Debate Friday, August 21, 2015. Speaking Drills Counterplans Work on cases Exam 1: Next Friday Preview](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f395503460f94c563f6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
1. Consulting is unpredictable – The neg can consult any country or international combination. It is impossible for the aff to be predict every potential consultation.
2. It’s artificially competitive – the counterplan is functionally plan plus since it does all of the plan plus the process of consultation. This justifies perm: do the counterplan.
3. Reading it as a DA solves all of your offense and prevents artificial net benefits.
4. It’s a voter for competitive equity.
Consult CPs Bad
