Framework in Debate
Smokey this is not Nam...There are
rules.
--Walter Sobchak
Intro-to-Framework
Two Types--Theory Framework: made up by debaters to
argue that all rounds should follow this rule-whats ok to do and whats not
Impact Framework: what type of argument
should the judge prioritize--what type of impact
should win the ballot
They are not the same THING!
Theory Framework-its simply Off vs
Def
Interp---(how should debate be--example--aff must
defend topical USFG action)

Violation---how does the Aff not meet this interp
Impacts/Standards---why is this interp best for
debate. This typically includes: Predictability, Fairness,
Ground, Education, Utopian thinking, Switch-Side
debate,

Competition voters (debate is a game) vs
Education voters (debate trains us to succeed)
The key arg to win (if possible) is that the Aff or Neg could
access their argument in your framework--it solves all their
offense and makes debate more fair for you.
Theory F/W--can be Aff or Neg

When to use it if your Neg? When they dont
run a plan, demand, they say debate is bad and
should change or claim they dont defend
USFG action. It will answer most crazy Affs
What advantage to you get if you force them to
defend that USFG action should happen?
Judges will be sympathetic to your situation but
you must defend and block out possible
answers to FW.
When to use it if your Aff? You may use a
theory FW that excludes Ks----not the best
strategy.
Typical Answers to Theory FW
If you are Aff---the team running a K will say you
decrease education, they are predictable, and
you have Aff advantages.
If you are Neg against the K aff---they will say
you decrease education, silence their voice,
increase bio-power, FIAT and role-playing is
bad, switch side debate bad, they are fair and
predictable and dont decrease your ground.
They are most likely wrong except in certain
circumstances.
Why is policy debate
good?
Write at least 2 things down for each
question, you have 3 min then we will
discuss---Why is policy debate (roll playing the
USFG should implement a policy) good?
Why do you debate?
Is debate fun and why?
Impact FW--What
Matters

Not whats allowed but whats important--types
of impacts--what is the ethical framework how
do we determine if something is good/bad-quest of ethics.
Utilitarianism (Util) and/or Consequentialism
Deontological ethics--duty based
Which system should be our guide to make
decisions? Does the actor change which
system we should use? Example USFG or
individuals
When is it used?
If both Aff/Neg operate in a world of Util---there is no

need for a FW debate. Its about access to the most
devistating impact (nuke war, global warming,
whatever) and why that impact jeopardizes survival.
If one side operates in a util/calc based FW and the
other side argues that value to life, respect for the
other, or some ethical choice should be prioritized
then their may be a need for an impact FW debate
What if the Aff says global warming or systemic
impacts should be prioritized and major/nuke war is
not likley---should you read a FW arg against that?
Are they using deontology?
How to argue
You just read cards on
Util/Conseq case to support your
impact claims---no interp or theory needed
Read offense util/calc: good card, inevitable
card,
Read defense of util/calc: ethical card,
necessary for VTL card, make args that prove
their impacts are inevitable if your util/calc
based impact happens.
Have extensions ready---that include a defense
of util, war reps, survival rhetoric, nuke war=ext,
AT: typical turns like security or VTL claims, At:
nuke reps
How to argue
Deont/ethics bad and not inevitable
You must win calc/util is
Win there is no value to life under util/calc
Win security or nuke reps bad to K their impacts
Win your form of ethics solves the impacts of
their args
Its very dangerous to concede that you
operate under a Util/Calc framework----and
bank on your case otw because these args
usually lack specificity and have weak time
frames
How to argue systemic
mpx
If your aff argues environmental impacts,
genocide, torture, or other systemic impacts
you have to win a few key args.
Its all about probability debate--you must win
their impact is unlikely and yours will happen
You can still win offense to their impacts that
dont link to you---threat con, security reps,
nuke reps
Your Defense of their impacts must be GOOD
