Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach:
Policy priority:
Evidence philosophy:
Paradigm:
LD
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
Please be respectful during all rounds, especially to your opponent. Please don't spread, as it makes it hard for me to follow. Technical language is good as long as you back it up with clear sources. I prefer for clearly stated values/value criteria/frameworks/impacts/etc., during first constructive because it allows me to easier follow your arguments. I try to write down all key arguments and everything said during cx/crossfires. I find good cx questions/good answers during cx to be detrimental to the debate. Good luck, you all got this and don't forget to have fun!
