DebateDrill's Public Forum/Lincoln Douglas rankings are designed with an elo-based system. Winning and losing rounds gives you points based on the strength of the opposing team compared to yours; defeating a stronger team will give you more points while losing to a weaker team will result in a greater loss of points. There is an additional bonus for reaching outrounds, based on the size of the tournament, and elo losses in outrounds are scaled down to reward those who break. Tournaments with more entries and thus more bids are given proportionally more weight.
The open-sourced code and results can be found here. In-depth articles on methodologies and analytics will be published regularly on the DebateDrills Blog. Please email leadership@debatedrills.com if you have any questions about our rankings.
