Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 0
Judging approach:
Policy priority:
Evidence philosophy:
Paradigm:

LD

Rounds judged: 6
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
Presenting one's argument with numerous amounts of solid evidence is good and holds weight in my judging decisions. However, the capability of one to present that argument in a way that is easily understood and clearly heard, holds equal weight. In life, having the evidence, but not the speaking ability, does not get very far. My debate philosophy when judging is the same principle.
