Judging qualifications:
I competed in Speech and Debate all 4 years in high school. I went to TFA State for Worlds. I am good with progressive and traditional LD debate style. I am very passionate in debate, I was going to do it in college but St. Edwards dosen't have a team and it dosen't align with my major, but I still really enjoy speech and debate.
Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach:
Policy priority:
Evidence philosophy:
Paradigm:
LD
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
The framework is how I judge the debate. Who achieves the framework and who have the most cohesive and comprehnsive speech and clash. I also judge is on how well they are able to turn their opponents link chain. I also judge based off of impact calc. I would say I judge more on their actual debate skill. But I do take into consideration their speaking. If I am unable to flow or understand them, then I won't vote for them. If they are rude or disrespectful I automatically vote them down.
