It’s time for LD Coaches Poll #5! You can vote by following this link. You can see past results here and the composite poll here.
Here’s a note from Bob Overing about this month’s poll:
*Reminders*
– Make sure you get your program’s OK to fill out the poll on its behalf
– I reserve the right to throw out votes that appear random or manipulative. This poll has legitimacy only if you base your ranks on your true beliefs about the Top 25 in the country.
– You should vote for your own students if you believe they are Top 25. It will not harm their points and it makes the poll more accurate
*Scoring 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.
– No ties are allowed
– Ranking your own students will not count toward their point totals
– The final rankings will be based on average
