Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 0
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: I post that I am a tab judge, but in absence of direction I default to policy. I enjoy a strong topicality argument, and have voted on such. I prefer to listen to a debate about the resolution than critical arguments.

LD

Rounds judged: 0
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
Old school LD judge. If you want to run a counterplan, move over to policy debate.
