Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Policy Maker
Policy priority: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Evidence philosophy: Quality of evidence is more important than quantity of evidence
Paradigm: Debate allows for a safe space to critically exchange ideas and push the status quo, in a CX debate round we should weigh the facts, rationality, and applicability of offered resolutions as well as the challenges to those ideas so that we reach the best possible outcome.
