Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Stock Issues
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:
LD
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
I place a lot of emphasis on the value/criterion arguments in a round. I prefer a good amount of philosophic and theoretic arguments but do like to seem some pragmatic attacks as well. I believe that a debater needs to know their case back/front and be able to defend their value/criteria throughout the rounds entirety. I want to know why the value/criteria is the best for the round.
