Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 0
Judging approach: Other (please explain below)
Policy priority: Communication skills are more important than resolution of substantive issues
Evidence philosophy: Quality of evidence is more important than quantity of evidence
Paradigm: Although I'd like to think that I'm a TABS judge, I'm more of a combination of Policymaking, Stocks, and more importantly on Speaking Skills - to me, delivery of the evidence and analysis is more important than the quantity of information with no emphasis on delivery skills.

LD

Approach: Communication skills are more important than resolution of substantive issues

Judge based on how well each present clear, logical sequence to arguments and refute their opponents by exposing weakness and inconsistencies - generally, how well can they uphold their position and understand the topic of discussion with clear and articulate delivery.
