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: As a communication event the speaker must be able to persuade and prove their arguments in a clear manner. They must also be able to defend any attacks made by their opponent effectively. When there is no clash in the debate it has failed to be a debate and just 2 separate speeches.
LD
