Approach:
Philosophy:
The debaters must have good strong value criterion ties and be able to say why theirs are higher than the opponent’s. Both debaters must be able to get through their entire constructive within time parameters as well as be able to refute attacks. Drops are very big for me when judging. I like theory to an extent, but evidence is key.
