Judging Philosophy
CX
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: The strength of arguments is important and meaningful as long as they are delivered with credible sources to help back up the arguments. Solutions need to be presented along with quality reasoning as to why the ideas presented may work along with reasons why opposing ideas may be seen as unattainable.
LD

Philosophy:
Arguments need to be presented in a logical format to help the audience understand what is being presented. Sources must be used to help back up arguments to present credibility within the presenter.
