Here are the rules:
– Each school gets one ballot – it can be filled out by any coach associated with the program
– Each coach will rank debaters from 1-25 and points will be calculated by a simple Borda count: A 1st place vote is 25 points, a 2nd place vote is 24 points, etc.
– Each coach will rank debaters from 1-25 and points will be calculated by a simple Borda count: A 1st place vote is 25 points, a 2nd place vote is 24 points, etc.
– No ties are allowed
– Ranking your own students will not count toward their point totals (but you might still rank them for accuracy’s sake)
– The final rankings will be based on average points per eligible ballot. Everyone’s ballot will be private. The only information released will be a list of schools voting along with the Top 25
I went and grabbed the names of students who have TOC bids so far from Premier Debate’s bid list. You might want to rank someone not listed. If so, just email me your list.
I plan to cut off results on 11/1 and post results on premierdebatetoday.com.
Thanks everyone!
