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 prioritize a structured and methodical approach to evaluating arguments, with a focus on the core principles of stock issues, clear organization, and effective communication. I believe that successful debaters must present their arguments in a logical, well-organized manner that aligns with the key components of the resolution. A compelling debate, in my view, is one that not only addresses the stock issues—significance, inherency, solvency, topicality, and harms—but also does so with clarity and precision. As long as everyone is treated with respect, I do not have set style and delivery preferences. Perform how you have been practicing (with civility please)!
