Scanland, Dave<br />

United States Air Force Academy<br />

Background <strong>of</strong> the critic:<br />

I competed for USAFA, primarily in Parliamentary Debate for 3 years and this is my <br />

second year judging for USAFA. <br />

Approach <strong>of</strong> the critic to decision-making (for example, ad<strong>here</strong>nce to the trichotomy, <br />

stock-issues, policymaker, tabula rasa, etc.): <br />

I try to be tabula rasa. <br />

Relative importance <strong>of</strong> presentation/communication skills to the critic in decision-making <br />

: <br />

They are important, but not necessarily a part <strong>of</strong> the overall decision-making. <br />

Relative importance <strong>of</strong> on-case argumentation to the critic in decision-making: <br />

On-case argumentation is important and should be done. Debaters should not avoid case <br />

debate. I vote on <strong>of</strong>f-case argumentation as well. <br />

Openness to critical/performative styles <strong>of</strong> debating: <br />

I have not been that impressed with most critical or performative positions that I have <br />

seen. <br />

Any additional comments: <br />

No. <br />
