Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 0
Judging approach: Policy Maker
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: If a plane (the Aff) crashes (the Neg), but most people survive and not much damage is done, it's a good thing (aff wins), but if the cons outweighed the pros then it's bad (neg wins).

LD

Rounds judged: 0
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
Topicality issues on the resolution are not my favorite thing. However, I do like to hear the benefits and why they outweigh against each sides case.
