Overview

T-Framework (also referred to as Framework and T-USFG) is a topicality argument designed to answer non topical critical affirmatives. In most topicality debates, both debaters agree that the affirmative should be topical, but disagree on whether the affirmative is topical. However, many critical affirmatives will contest whether the affirmative should have the burden to be topical in the first place. Because of this, T-Framework is a unique topicality argument, as most 2NRs on T-Framework will not focus on proving the aff is not topical, but rather on proving debates about the resolution are valuable and topicality is a norm worth preserving.
