Judging Philosophy

CX

Rounds judged: 0
Judging approach: Tabula Rasa
Policy priority: Resolution of substantive issues is more important than communication skills
Evidence philosophy: Quantity of evidence and quality of evidence are of equal importance
Paradigm: Do what you want to do and do what you do best. I will judge anything and everything within the rules just make sure you are having fun, leaning, and being nice to everyone.

LD

Rounds judged: 0
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
Value and criterion debate and clash is where you will persuade me the most. Contention debate is super important but I really think at times you can even group those into being not an issue or solved through certain frameworks of values.
