# If you are substantive enough, any judge will vote for you.

# Caveat #1: If you are substantive enough, any judge, barring policy judges (judges that came from policy debate), will vote for you.

# Caveat #2: This is not applicable to elims.

There are a good amount of judges that are surprisingly solid for straight up phil. On the West coast, I ran phil affs with util advantages (they're pretty abusive to be honest), carded pretty much everything, overexplained, etc. A lot of it is in how you do your prefs, and if you want to seriously run phil, you should probably expect that your best judges are not going to exist and that every round will probably be an uphill battle for you. Your West coast opponents will also pref the complete opposite of you, so as you get farther into a tournament, the elim panels will get more and more unforgiving. It's definitely possible to go 6-0 on the West coast, but it's best to be flex anyway.
