2022-2023 Public Forum & Lincoln Douglas Rankings

DebateDrills and NSD are proud to announce they are working together to provide high-quality, free resources to the debate community, including national PF and LD rankings. The DD x NSD's elo-based Public Forum and Lincoln Douglas debate rankings give competitors points based on winning and losing rounds 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.
