Judging qualifications:
Presentation is so important. Connecting with everyone is everything. Spewing out garbage generic evidence and not thinking about how to apply it in a logical and creative way is how so many debates happened when I was there. Having well thought out, organized, relevant evidence is important. Being a communicator who cares about connecting with their audition trumps that every time.

Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 0
Judging approach: Policy Maker
Policy priority: Communication skills are more important than resolution of substantive issues
Evidence philosophy: Quality of evidence is more important than quantity of evidence
Paradigm: Good CX is all about connecting with your audience (other team, partner, and the judges). Good CX is about slowing down your roll, thinking out the possible places it could end up and selectively encouraging your opponent to go down that path.
