Judge's Name: Fox, Ashley High School Graduation Date: 2000 Judge's e-mail: afox@wihi.org Experience: - Coach a team - Occasionally Judge Rounds Judged this topic: None. However, I am coaching a team and have experience judging other topics. Judge Paradigm: Speaking skills Rate of Delivery: 3 Moderate Quantity of Arguments: 3 A moderate number Topicality: 3 Moderately Counterplans: 3 sometimes acceptable Generic Disadvantages: 3 sometimes acceptable Conditional Negative Positions: 3 sometimes acceptable Debate Theory Arguments: 3 sometimes acceptable Kritik arguments: 3 sometimes acceptable Overall judging paradigm: As a judge I value understanding of the topic and the variety of arguments for and against. I believe in tracking arguments proposed throughout the debate and judging how well each listens to and counters the argument of the opposing side. I do not allow personal opinion or arguments that I believe should be made to enter into my judgement of which team wins or loses. However, I do believe that debaters should be consistent in their logic. Speed or finesse is not as important to me as students understanding of the topic, arguments, and counter-arguments, which always includes strong listening and comprehension skills.
