DEBATE-Kansas City is proud to release our final round of DKC Power Rankings for the 2013-14 season. Students recognized in the Power Rankings have earned their place through sustained success at debate tournament competition this season. All DKC tournaments, which include the events of policy debate, student congress and equity debate, are managed through a computer program that creates season-long rankings. DKC publishes these rankings to recognize and motivate academic achievement in debate. All students listed in the Power Rankings are invited to attend the annual DKC Awards Night Celebration May 6th, 2014 at the Kauffman Conference Center where they will receive an award and recognition.
We made one change to this year rankings. Instead of awarding policy debate teams for the most wins, we are awarding individual debaters. This change was made partially because partner switching is common and makes calculating team based awards difficult. Additionally, DKC has a history of mavericks who only generate individual wins. We think the new ranking best reflects debater achievement in DKC.

Thank you so much DKC for the wonderful job you have done year after year in motivating our children through debate. Congratulations to all debaters!
As an administrator at Benjamin Banneker Charter I am proud of all of the students listed, but especially proud of our coach, Mr. Jorge Fuller and his debate team! I wish he could teach debate as a class during the day, but this year’s results are stellar none the less! We also acknowledge Debate Kansas City for its efforts to be inclusive of all schools that wish to participate!
