Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Stock Issues
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: Logic and effective communication skills are vital. I keep track of fillers during the debate like ums, uh, "like," you know, etc. Also, I check for the flow of the debate.
