A disadvantage is also used in the Lincoln-Douglas debate format. A Disadvantage usually has four key elements. These four elements are not always necessary depending on the type of disadvantage run, and some are often combined into a single piece of evidence. A Unique Link card, for example, will include both a description of the status quo and the plan’s effect on it. Uniqueness shows why the Impacts haven’t occurred yet or to a substantial extent and will uniquely occur with the adoption of either the Affirmative’s plan or the Negative’s counterplan. An Example: If the negative team argues that the affirmative plan will result in nuclear proliferation, it would also argue that the status quo will avoid nuclear proliferation. If the Affirmative claims that nuclear proliferation is already occurring, the negative team could argue that adoption of the plan would result in a unique increase in nuclear proliferation.

For the disadvantage to have relevance in the round, the negative team must show that the affirmative plan causes the disadvantage that is claimed. If the DA stated that the plan takes money from the government, and the affirmative team shows that the plan does not increase governmental spending, then the DA would be considered to have “no link”. The internal link connects the link to the impact, or, it shows the steps the link causes to get to the impact. Not all DA’s use an internal link but some have multiple internals.

The internal link in our example would be that government spending leads to economic collapse. The impact is the result of the policy action that make it undesirable. Internal links are often undesirable things by themselves, and could be considered impacts. However, the worst of the consequences, or the final one in the chain of events, is usually given the label of “impact”.

Other terminal impacts might include severe human rights abuses, such as near universal slavery or loss of individuality. A traditional DA follows the structure above. Traditional DA’s can include or exclude the internal link. A linear disadvantage does not have uniqueness.
