NSD_Update
The Dukes and Bailey Cup is an annual award given to the LD debater at the NDCA Championship Tournament who has amassed the most NDCA qualifying points over the course of the season. Your top five tournaments count towards your NDCA points. The data below include results from Wake Forest, Grapevine, Crestian, Greenhill, Yale, and Valley. Any tournament can count towards NDCA credit. If you would like your tournament included in the scores, please send the Contestants in Order report to me at palmer at tabroom dot com.
NDCA points are calculated by multiplying the winning percentage in prelims by the size of the field (with a cap at 100), with bonus multipliers for advancing in elimination rounds (2.3 for winning, 1.8 for finals, 1.6 for semis, 1.4 for quarters, 1.2 for octos, and 1.1 for clearing) and for geographic diversity (2.3 for 16+ states, 1.8 for 13-15, 1.6 for 9-12, 1.4 for 6-8, 1.2 for 3-5). The past three winners are Jordan Lamothe (’09 and ’10), Steven Adler (’11), and Noah Star (’12).
Also if you spot an error let me know; if your name or your school name was spelled differently at two tournaments or something, it’s possible you don’t have your full total credited.
