  1. Counterplans PICs….. In spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!

  2. What every CP needs • Cp text • Net benefit • Must be competitive • Uniquely beneficial • Mutually exclusive

  3. Cp text • Write before the round • Grammar • does it accomplish what I need the CP to accomplish? • How could the aff permute the cp text? • How could the aff create a solvency deficit?

  4. Net benefit • Internal net benefit • Independent disad • Case turns the cp avoids

  5. CP competitiveness • The CP by itself must be better than the plan or any combination of the plan and all or part of the CP • Uniquely beneficial -CP must do something good or avoid something bad that the plan can’t. • Mutually exclusive -the aff and the cp can not happen at the same time

  6. permutation • Tests competition of the CP • must have plan first, unaltered in content and timeframe • Many variations on permutations • Even if the perm works, the cp can still function if it is uniquely beneficial (perm still links to politics)

  7. Counterplan status • Conditionality • Dispositionality • unconditionality

  8. conditionality • Can kick the cp whenever you want • Still have to answer theory • Aff can still try to leverage offense • Very common • Strategic flexibility • Conditionality is okay, multiple contradictory conditional worlds is problematic

  9. dispositionality • Can kick the cp unless it is straight turned • Only impact turns, link turns, or theory • Conceding permutations, link or impact defense will make the CP go away • Not much strategic value • Difficult to run with other worlds

  10. unconditionality • Will go for in the 2NR • Can’t kick under any circumstances • Good to run 1 off • Everything in 1NR should work together

  11. Types of counterplan • PIC • Consult • Condition • Advantage • Agent • This list is not exhaustive

  12. PIC • Plan Inclusive Counterplan • Does part of the plan • Removes part of the action or replaces a word • Word PICs • Generally accepted as legitimate

  13. condtion • Conditions plan action on an additional prior act • “USFG will do X if PRC will do Y” • Theoretically questionable • Strategically sound since it should suck up the affs offense

  14. advantage • Does an alternative action that seeks to solve one of the advantages of the plan • Puts offense on advantages not solved by the cp • Valuable for affs with 2 or 3 advantages

  15. agent • Is also a PIC • Does the plan through an alternative agent(XO, Courts) • Plan action is a good idea, just need to use different actor • Politics is a common NB • agent powers or legitimacy can also be NB

  16. consult • Consults another actor on the plan action • Often has relations NB • Theoretically shady, lots of judges hate it • Strategically strong since it literally does all of the aff

  17. Answering the cp • Permutation • Solvency deficit • Add-ons • Theory • Disads to the cp • Turning the NB
