A compilation of statements of the judging philosophies of the judges for the 1987 National Debate Tournament, this booklet presents the views of 132 college level coaches from institutions all across the country. The areas examined in the standard judge philosophy form include (1) personal preferences in regard to a decision making paradigm; (2) views on topicality; (3) preferred standard of competitiveness, or counterplans; (4) reactions to add-on, turnaround, and disco strategies; and (5) style and other issues (such as particular mannerisms coaches find objectionable). Where possible, philosophies of judges who did not submit a completed questionnaire in time for inclusion in this booklet were located from previous tournament booklets, and in these cases, the date of the judging statement is indicated. A list of the judges and their respective institutions is included. (AEW)
