Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 3
Judging approach: Tabula Rasa
Policy priority: Resolution of substantive issues is more important than communication skills
Evidence philosophy: Quantity of evidence and quality of evidence are of equal importance
Paradigm: Make the decision clear and easy. I'm fine with any argument (within reason, I'm not going to listen to unethical impact turns), and I will vote on any argument as long as there is a warrant for why I should. I will NOT listen to new off-case in the 2NC, otherwise I'll be persuaded by any theory argument if it's true. Ask me questions for clarification before the round.
