Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 5
Judging approach: Tabula Rasa
Policy priority: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Evidence philosophy: Quantity of evidence and quality of evidence are of equal importance
Paradigm: Full Tab. If you can't set up the framework of the debate, or learn to deal with unique arguments on the fly, you deserve to lose.

LD

Rounds judged: 3
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
I tend to be more traditional with LD judging, I like seeing people actually argue of Values and how to achieve them. This is the event I have the least experience in
