2. How do you judge?

I judge based on how teams fulfil burdens of the motion by providing relevant and coherent logical linkages towards certain claims. Teams are expected to engage with each other to the extent necessary to fulfil the opposing outcomes are more likely to be true or the opposing objective more desirable, rather than merely refuting how certain claims are unlikely to be true. Facts and matters are highly appreciated as auxiliary materials to reinforce logical linkages.

3. Please explain other specifics about your judging style

I have no particular preference over speech style. Irrespective of their speed, accent or structure, speakers will be credited for their relevant content as long as the speech is understandable within my capacity. Conversely, speakers are expected to deliver and justify their argumentation in ways that can reasonably be understood by a supposedly average reasonable person who isn't particularly inclined towards certain worldview or an expert in a particular field.
