Novice POI Rankings

Thus beginneth the social experiment. This separate ranking system has absolutely no bearing on the official varsity rankings. Instead, it is intended to document the winnings of the oft-overlooked novice teams (and draw attention to potential future state champions).

  1. Team Rankings Points
    The total point value for each team shall be calculated as follows:
    (points from best tournament)(1) + (points from second best tournament)(0.95) + (points from third best tournament)(0.65) + (points from fourth best tournament)(0.3) + (points from fifth best tournament)(0.1)
    For example, a team that went to 7 tournaments and got 7,0,4,6,4,3,3 points respectively would get a total of (7)(1)+(6)(0.95)+(4)(0.65)+(4)(0.3)+(3)(0.1)=16.8 points
  2. Points eligibility
    1. Only results from novice divisions will be eligible.
    2. If a team was entered in a varsity division, but qualified for a novice breakout, then they will be eligible for points on this list. However, any varsity results will be only counted for the primary list.
    3. Only two-person teams are eligible.
  3. Walkovers
    In an event of a walkover, the points from the elim round in which the walkover happened should be split equally among the two teams.
  4. Tournament points
    1. Novice Invitationals
      Break: 4 points
      Outround win: 2 points
    2. Novice Breakout
      Break: 4 points
      Each consecutive victory: 4 points
  5. Authentic Teams
    1. An authentic team is a team where neither member is also a member of a higher ranked authentic team. In the event that a debater is a member if two equally ranked teams, one of those teams shall randomly be named non-authentic.
    2. Non-authentic teams shall be ranked, but their ranks will be enclosed in parenthesis on the rankings.
    3. A team’s rank equals a number of authentic teams that rank higher than it plus one.
  6. Club Rankings tiebreakers
    1. the sum of all unweighted (e.g. not weighted by Section A rules) points of all its teams (including non-authentic)
    2. number of authentic ranked teams
    3. number of ranked teams
