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 came from an area that heavily focused on policy debate as the rule book deffered. Which means I'm not accostumed but not against spreading, theories, or Ks. I have a general knowledge of it all and wouldn't mind any of it. If you are going to spead please pop your tags. If I can't catch it then it'll be hard for me to flow the round. If you even have an hint of doubt about spearding and making your tags known, I'd advise heavily on not spreading or it will be count against you and your speaking point. OVerall I fit under a miss of Stock and Tab when judging.
LD
Approach: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Philosophy:
Pretty much the same as Policy except in the ideas of Lincoln Douglass Debate. I perfer quality and quantity with argumentation and debate topics. I need everything to hold equal weight because every argument matters to the discussion.
