A permutation is an argument in debate which is used to respond to some sort of alternate method/plan proposed by the negative debater (counterplans and kritik alternatives). Permutations can either be a test of competition or a reason to vote affirmative. In order for permutations to be a reason to vote affirmative, they must have a net benefit, i.e. some reason as to why doing the aff and the neg’s alternative is a good idea. | A permutation is an argument in debate which is used to respond to some sort of alternate method/plan proposed by the negative debater (counterplans and kritik alternatives).

'''Permutation do both''': One of the most standard types of permutations; it just means that you can do both the affirmative and the kritik alternative at the same time. | '''Permutation do both''': One of the most standard types of permutations; it just means that you can do both the affirmative and the kritik alternative at the same time. | ||

'''Permutation double bind''': This is considered a more “tricky” permutation. The text of the permutation usually is: “permutation do the aff and then the alternative in all other instances, either a] the alt is strong enough to solve for the links in which case we can do the aff, or b] the alt is too weak in which case we shouldn’t do it. | '''Permutation double bind''': This is considered a more “tricky” permutation.
