DEBATE-Kansas City is proud to announce the power rankings for the 2019-20 season. Below you will find the top performers in the league in both middle and high school. All students ranked will be honored at our annual Awards Night. More details forthcoming!
Student congress winners were determined by final placement at tournaments. In policy debate speaker awards were determined by having a minimum of 6 rounds in a given division and then the average speaker point earned by student. In the policy debate win category placement was determined by total number of wins in a given division with overall speaker point average breaking ties.
Congratulations to the entire league and to our power ranking honorees!
