Making a topicality argument

Topicality arguments can be written ahead of time, just like disadvantages. In general "T" arguments have the following format.
A) Definition
Evidence that defines on or more important words in the resolution.
B) Violation
An explanation of why the affirmative plan is not an example of the kind of action described by the resolution. Answers the question "why does the plan violate the negative definition(s)?"
C) Reasons to prefer the negative definition
Arguments about why the negative definition is better for debate than other definitions if the word(s) being contested. If the affirmative offers a different definition, why should the judge prefer the negative definition?
D) voting issue
Reasons why the affirmative should lose if the negative wins topicality. The two main reasons are jurisdiction and debatability. Jurisdiction means the judge can't vote for the plan if it is not part of the topic. Debatability means that the negative would not have a fair chance in the debate if the affirmative did not have to operate within the limits of the resolution.
