Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 4
Judging approach: Tabula Rasa
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: Clear communication and persuasive speaking valued above all else. K’s, DA’s, CP’s all fair game as long as they are ran well. K Aff’s iffy but doable. I judge on net benefit.
