Public Forum and Lincoln-Douglas Debate Rankings

DebateDrills's Public Forum and Lincoln Douglas debate rankings are designed with an elo-based system. Winning and losing rounds gives competitors points based on the strength of the opposing team compared to theirs; defeating a stronger team gives competitors more points while losing to a weaker team will result in a greater loss of points. There is an additional bonus for reaching elimination debates, based on the size of the tournament, and elo losses in elimination debates are scaled down to reward those who advanced past preliminary rounds. Tournaments with more entries and thus more bids are given proportionally more weight. Our open-sourced code and results are available here. Please email leadership@debatedrills.com if you have questions about our rankings.

The PF rankings methodology has undergone a slight revision. For more information, please read our latest article on the methodology and preliminary accuracy of our PF rankings
