Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach:
Policy priority:
Evidence philosophy:
Paradigm:
LD
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
I believe that the burden of refutation is key in judging LD. If an opponent drops the affirmative case, no amount of communication skills can save them. LD is a persuasive debate regarding values. The ability to build a strong case and defend it is crucial.
