Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 24
Judging approach: Policy Maker
Policy priority: Communication skills are more important than resolution of substantive issues
Evidence philosophy: Quality of evidence is more important than quantity of evidence
Paradigm: I am all about the policy being suggested in the round if the Aff can prove that the advantages we gain from the suggested plan will outweight the arguments brought forth by the Neg then thats how they win the round. I also do not flow speed so if you spread in my round you do so at your own risk of the arguments not making the flow for the round.

LD

Rounds judged: 30
Approach: Communication skills are more important than resolution of substantive issues
Philosophy:
I am a traditional Value/Criterion judge who is looking for solid clash in a round. If at the end of the round your V/C upholds highest and proves your side of the resolution then you will have earned my ballot.
