Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 0
Judging approach: Tabula Rasa
Policy priority: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Evidence philosophy: Quality of evidence is more important than quantity of evidence
Paradigm: Spreading - I am okay with spreading but need clearly read taglines, and slower analysis K's - I'll vote on K's but they need an alt. solvency CP's - I need CPs to be paired with a DA to vote on them. A plan alone doesn't prove isn't necessarily better than the Affs. Topicality - I will definitely vote on it if it is proven to be relevant
