DEBATE-Kansas City is finally ready to announce the first set of Power Rankings for the 2017-18 season. Below you will find the top performers in the league in both middle and high school. Those that make the list at the end of the year will be invited to the annual Awards Night Celebration at Kauffman Conference Center. This list will be updated as the season progresses.
Student congress winners were determined by final placement in open or varsity divisions at DKC 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. In some cases students may have placed in more then one division. In this case the student was given their highest placement in the most advanced division and removed from their lower ranking and division to maximize award distribution.
