DEBATE-Kansas City is proud to release our latest round of DKC Power Rankings. Students recognized in the Power Rankings have earned their place through success at debate tournament competition this season. All DKC tournaments, which include the events of policy debate and student congress, are managed through a computer program that creates season-long rankings. DKC publishes these rankings to recognize and motivate academic achievement in debate. Students that make the season-ending Power Rankings are invited to attend annual DKC Awards Night Celebration at the Kauffmann Conference Center.
We have issued one change to the rankings related to policy debate. Instead of ranking policy debate teams, we are ranking individual policy debaters based on their total number of wins. This addresses one major problem to the previous rankings; partner switching that skewed win totals. The new system ranks students based on the number of debate rounds they win in a given division and wins are not carried from one division to another. In middle school policy debate we created a new varsity just this December, creating a small sample size. For this set of Power Rankings that division is not separated and instead all middle school debaters are ranked in one category. After the DKC City Championships conclude the Power Rankings will separate novice and varsity middle school policy debate.
