Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Policy Maker
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: Judges should be fair and impartial in their approach to policy debate. Stock Issues are a valuable tool for organizing a debate, but the largest determinate in a debate should be the impacts that result from the implementation of the affirmative plan. If the affirmative plan can prove that the overall weight of its advantages is greater than the weight of its disadvantages and it sufficiently addresses issues within the status quo, then the affirmative team has won the debate. Clear and effective communication is paramount in debate and speaker points should be awarded with that in mind.
