THE POINT SYSTEM

 

The Northwest Sweepstakes System counts points for Northwest Schools from any Northwest tournament for

Parliamentary debate, Interp, and Speaking events, and any West Coast tournament for Policy and NFA-LD debate.

·        Tournaments must have at least 6 total debate rounds (eg 4 prelims with 2 elims) except in NFA LD which requires a total of at least 3 total rounds to count.

·        Tournaments must have at least 3 total rounds of an individual event to count (e.g. 2 prelims and finals) except in an individual event with 2 preliminary rounds that does not have enough contestants to justify a final round.

 

THERE ARE SEVEN CATEGORIES in which schools are recognized for their top 4 performances in:

·        POLICY/NFA-LD

·        PARLI

·        INTERP

·        SPEAKING EVENTS

·        DEBATE OVERALL

·        IES OVERALL

·        OVERALL

 

WE RECOGNIZE 4 YEAR and CC SCHOOLS IN EACH CATEGORY.

 

Recognition is via announcement of school placings on our web page. If you wish a trophy, Jim Hanson would be glad to order you one at cost.

 

DEBATE POINTS

 

--NFA-LD AND POLICY DEBATE (counts West Coast/Rockies tournaments for policy debate only)

--PARLI DEBATE

advancing to first elim (or going ABOVE 50% win-loss): 6 points

1 point for each elim win

multiply the above points using this scale:

2 teams times .1
3 or 4 teams times .2
5 or 6 teams times .3
7 or 8 teams times .4
9 or 10 teams times .5
11 or 12 teams times .6
13 or 14 teams times .7
15 or 16 teams times .8
after that, add .01 for each team over 16 except the number should never exceed 1.
(eg 25 teams--times.89)

YOU COUNT YOUR TOP 4 PLACES IN POLICY DEBATE OR LD, AND TOP 4 PLACES IN PARLI DEBATE. You count your top 4 tournaments with these scores from your top 4 debate teams at a tournament.

IE POINTS

 

--INTERP

 

--SPEAKING EVENTS (non-interp)

advancing to elims (or averaging 2 or less in prelims): 3 points
3rd: 1 extra point
2nd: 2 extra points
1st: 3 extra points

No more than the top half of competitors may count (e.g. 9 competitors means you count 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and a person who advanced to elims).

 

No more than the top 6 competitors can count in a division (e.g. a finals with 9 or more competitors—no points are counted for 9th place).

 

If there are no finals—count the top half of competitors up to the top 6 competitors.


multiply the above points using this scale:

2 ies in that event and division times .2
3 ies in that event and division times .3
4 ies in that event and division times .4
5 ies in that event and division times .5
6 ies in that event and division times .6
7 or 8 ies in that event and division times .7
9 or 10 ies in that event and division times .8
after that, add .01 for each ier in that event and division over 10 except
the number should never exceed 1.
(eg 25 iers--times.95)

YOU COUNT YOUR TOP 8 PLACES IN INTERP AND TOP 8 PLACES IN SPEAKING EVENTS. You count your top 4 tournaments with these scores from your top 8 finishers at a tournament.
