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 a tab judge and accept any arguments. If you have an argument that has a well thought-out link chain to its impacts, those impacts must be weighed in the round however radical those impacts are thought of normally. Generally whoever wins impact calc will win the round unless topicality arguments are shown to be more important to the round.
