Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Policy Maker
Policy priority: Resolution of substantive issues is more important than communication skills
Evidence philosophy: Quality of evidence is more important than quantity of evidence
Paradigm: I approach the round as a policymaker. By default I look at whether or not the Aff policy should or should not exist, the debater with the most offense wins. This is only my default- I am comfortable judging within other frameworks as long as there is a well warranted argument for why I should have a different view.
