Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Tabula Rasa
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: I'm fine with speed so long as you don't sacrifice clarity, don't lose professionalism in round (dont be rude), give me clear voters in rebutalls, CPs and Ks are fine if you run them well and give me clear resolution and alternatives
LD
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
Very open to any and all argumentation brought out in debate, so long as it is run well and clearly explains the voters in round
