NDT Ranking Reports and Updates

This is the second of two official NDT Rankings Reports for the 2011-12 year. Each report includes overall rankings (based on the top two teams from a school at eight tournaments), varsity rankings (based on the top two senior division teams from a school at eight tournaments), community college rankings (using overall points), and rankings by region (using overall points). The Spring Report includes a list of the schools that moved up the most in the rankings. The last page of this report explains how points are calculated. Teams earn points even if they are not members of the NDT, however only members are ranked in this final report.

In addition to the NDT Reports, Jon Brushke updates the NDT points as well as all results from college policy debate tournaments on a regular basis at his web page. You can access the pages at www.debateresults.com

You can see an online version of these rankings and how NDT points are counted at: www.whitman.edu/debate/ndt/

Instructions on how to do this are at: www.debateresults.com (look in the lower left hand side of the page)

Jon inputs the file into his database and that puts the results on the web page and in this report. It creates an always up-to-date list of who is competing at the tournament, rankings of teams, NDT bid sheets, CEDA and NDT sweepstakes points, and a lot of useful and very interesting statistics. It also automatically sends calendar information to the AFA and CEDA.
