NDT Ranking Reports and Updates

This is the first of two official NDT Rankings Reports for the 2013-14 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 Bruschke and Chris Palmer update the NDT points as well as all results from college policy debate tournaments on a regular basis at www.tabroom.com

Use CAT and Send results to Jon Bruschke

Setup your Tournament at https://www.tabroom.com/index/index.mhtml FROM THE CAT After the results are in, simply post the file one last time (from the main menu, click on put it on the web and then post tournament file to web. In addition, click the create results file button in the top righ t. This will create a file in your documents folder (and the CAT subfolder) call TourneyDataResults.xml. Please email that file to jbruschke@gmail.com (note that the @fullerton.edu email address will not accept XML files). FROM THE TRPC First, make sure you are using the tabroom-enabled TRPC. From the main tabroom page, click on the link to the CAT and the TRPC download option will be in the top-right. Second, launch the tabroom-enabled TRPC and create the TourneyData.xml file by clicking on Results-Main Results Printouts-Print Packet Results, and then click the blue Click here to Create a Universal Data Structure file in the middle of the page. Please find the TRPCDATA folder and email the TourneyData.xml file to jbruschke@gmail.com (note that the @fullerton.edu email address will not accept XML files). Note: in Windows 7 and later it can be difficult to find the right TRPC files; you can use the search function by clicking the start button, typing TourneyData.xml in the search box, and then using right-click to either display the file properties or to open the file in its folder location. If all else fails, you can create a folder on a flash drive, back up the TRPC data to that folder, then right-click the backup folder on the flash drive to create a zipped copy. You can then email the zipped copy to jbruschke@gmail.com. Chris and Jon input the file into his database and that puts the results on the web page and in this report. It creates an always upto-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.

NDT Ranking Procedure

I. The ranking system will report the standing of all NDT programs in December and all NDT subscribing programs in April each year. A three-tiered system will be employed: (a) Ranking on a national basis for overall squad performance and for varsity level competition; (b) Ranking by districts using overall squad performance; (c) Ranking of junior college programs using overall squad performance. Additionally, in the spring, the Report shall include a ranking of Movers (teams with 32 or more overall points increase comparing the previous years points to the current year) and of New Schools ( based on overall performance, this is for teams who did not earn points in the previous fall and who have earned at least 32 or more overall points). II. Rankings will be based on a point system according to the following items: (a) Only results from tournament divisions with six or more teams per division from three or more schools with at least 4 preliminary rounds that debate the NDT topic will count towards the ranking; (b) The results of a schools two best teams in any qualifying division of a tournament will count toward the overall rankings. The varsity rankings will only count the best two teams in varsity division; (c) The results of a schools best performance at a maximum of eight tournaments will count towards the rankings; (d) Only teams who are in the upper half of teams in the first elimination round may count that ro unds points for rankings; (e) If the tab room director(s) are from one school only, then elimination rounds of teams from that school will not count toward the rankings (you must have two schools represented as tab directors to have all elimination points counted); (f) Lincoln-Douglas results or rounds in which a debater debated without a colleague or with a colleague from another school will not count toward the rankings; (g) If the elimination rounds of a tournament are interrupted by extenuating circumstances, the points remaining to be earned will be evenly distributed to the remaining participants, rounded to the nearest whole number; (h) Hybrids do not count for points unless recognized by the NDT Committee for ranking points; (i) Breakout rounds (where the teams with the best records do not advance to elims) do not count for points. III. Points are allocated as follows Prelim Record 4-0 to 9-0 4-1 to 8-1 3-1, 5-2, 6-2, 6-3 3-2, 4-2, 4-3, 5-3, 5-4 2-2 to 4-4 2-3, 2-4, 3-4, 3-5, 4-5 1-3, 2-5, 2-6, 3-6 1-4 to 1-8 0-4 to 0-9 Percentage 100% 80 to 99.99% 67 to 79.99% 50.01 to 66.99% 50% 33 to 49.99% 21 to 32.99% .01 to 20.99% 0% Points 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 Elim Record Unanimous win (3-0, 5-0, a bye, etc.) Split decision win (2-1, 3-2, 4-1, etc.) Split decision loss (1-2, 2-3, 1-4, etc.) Unanimous loss (0-3, 0-5, walk over/forfeit, etc.) 3 4 5 Points 6
