Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach:
Policy priority:
Evidence philosophy:
Paradigm:
LD
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
When I'm judging I ask myself 2 basic questions. One who was the better speaker. Two who had the best arguments. Then from there, I chose a winner. Those are my best two facts in deciding a winner. In LD I do not allow spreading, if it is at a point I can not understand them, then they should not win. I also watch for eye contact.
