Congratulations to Nick Schiltz and Sierra Duke from Delta Charter HS! They made it to quarterfinals in Novice Parli, even though this was only Sierra’s 2nd time EVER doing Parli,her FIRST invite doing it, and just her THIRD tournament overall. To the winning team in Open, Windsor, they said that you two are their new role models. Much Congrats to you both as well!
How does the parli field look compared to last year?
Did they do speaker ranking tiebreakers?
Yes. Top 3 were supposedly tied after multiple tie breakers. They chose 1-3 based on who registered for the tournament first.
Ok we were all wondering as well. Did the first place go to the team that registered later or earlier?
I couldn’t tell you – who ended up getting which places?
Dr. Bates said that the person who registered first got 1st. But looking at prelims, I don’t think they did tie breakers. For round 1, my opponents did not show- so they averaged my speaks. That would most likely put me at a disadvantage in a tie breaker. It seems fishy….
Excellent haha
The only reason an average-speak score (due to a bye) would affect your overall score would be if you had a significant, low outlier. Then, your average (and thus speaks for R1) would be low, and the normalization that comes from the “high-low drop” would not work because you would have two “lows.”
Basically, the average score in R1 simply means if you had gotten higher, you and you alone would have won. If you had gotten lower, you would have gotten 3rd or lower. If you got exactly your average for the other rounds, everything would still be the same.
