Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 10+
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 have no strong ideological debate dispositions. I am pretty laid back as a judge so read whatever you feel comfortable doing in front of me. As long as you are clear and not too too fast, you will be fine. I think link/perm analysis is very important, tech usually over truth, affs should probably be topical. Any other questions can be answered with my paradigm on Tabroom.com or an email (benwolf8@gmail.com).
