Question 1 of 4

1. Question
What is a Permutation or Perm?
- When the affirmative argues for a permutation, they are saying the negative's counterplan doesn't make sense; therefore, they need to alter or mutate it.
- A mathemetical term meaning a way a list can be arranged. In debate it refers to the way arguments are arranged.
- It is when the affirmative permits changes or mutations to the negative's counterplan.
- It is when the affirmative changes or mutates their own plan.
- When the affirmative argues that the plan and counterplan can coexist and so therefore, they want to include the counterplan as a part of their plan.

Question 2 of 4

2. Question
When talking about permutations, what is competition?
- It is an argument the negative uses that essentially says the permutation is not any more competitive than the plan alone.
- It is an argument that tests if there is a forced choice between the plan and counterplan.
- It argues that there is too much competition between the plan and counterplan for them to be included into one plan.
- It simply argues that the plan is more competitive with the counterplan because it has more solvency.
- It is an affirmative argument that tests the level of competition between the two plans. The affirmative uses the competition argument to prove they have stronger solvency arguments.

Question 3 of 4

3. Question
Why are permutations important?
- Because it forces the negative to practice their impromptu skills by making them change their plan or abandon their plan for more DAs.
- Because it forces debaters to make arguments about more than who has more solvency.
- Because it gives the affirmative a chance to win when the negative's counterplan is really good.
- Because it allows creativity in a debate.
- It protects the affirmative’s ground.

Question 4 of 4

4. Question
What are the three approaches to a perm?
- Testing the competition. Not necessarily advocating for a perm of the plan and counterplan, but recognizing that it's possible; therefore, showing the negative is "stealing affirmative ground."
- Solvency take-over. Taking all the negative's solvency and leaving their counterplan out of yours.
- Advocating the perm. Defending the plan and counterplan; arguing for all each plan's parts.
- Net-benefit to the perm. Promoting the idea that the plan will include the counterplan and benefit from all its solvency.
- Planning the perm. Wait until the last affirmative speech to argue for a perm so that the negative doesn't have time to respond.
