This is a good question.  However, I would say that running many links to 
a disad don't get you anywhere in plan-focus debate, unless there's a 
link to one of the two plans run by aff.  Second, I think running a bunch 
of links wouldn't be the best use of the neg's time.  I believe a better 
strategy against Alt-J would be to make sure that all of your off case 
applied to both plans, even if you needed separate links.  That way, the 
aff gets no advantage from kicking out.  The critique that subsumes both 
plans would be another good neg strategy.

I don't understand the question.  Please clarify.

Why?  An Alt J is NOT using example reasoning to support a general 
resolution.  It is merely advancing two separate aff cases instead of 
one.  All the other rules are the same.

I'd be willing to share what we know, but I don't think anyone put one 
together.


I'm also going to forward this to the list, without your name on it.  
That way, the list can benefit from your questions.>
