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: For me, the feasibility of the policy is critical. That being said, I will consider Stock issues as well. A policy that doesn't do the bare minimum of adhering to Stock issues is not valid. As for evidence, I will assume that evidence presented is correct unless it is proven false by the opposing side. I will score based on the reasonableness of the policy, the opposition's arguments against it, and the response by the affirmative.
