Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Stock Issues
Policy priority: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Evidence philosophy: Quantity of evidence and quality of evidence are of equal importance
Paradigm: I want to be able to see good clash, no dropped points, and overall no bogus arguments with the evidence to back it up. I will keep track of the main stock issues throughout the round to ensure both sides are making sound arguments.
