1998-1999 NDT National Rankings Report I

1998-1999 NDT National Rankings Report

Here is how these point totals are derived: Each school is permitted to count their best eight tournament performances. Points earned by the top two performing teams at each tournament are summed to produce a school total for that event. Teams receive points (ranging from 8-16) for preliminary round wins, and more points for elimination round participation (e.g., a unanimous win counts for 6 points, a split win for5 pts., a split loss 4, unanimous defeat 3). Points in the over all ranking make no distinction between divisions, and all count equally. A separate listing ranks schools based only on their varsity or open division points earned. Overall point totals are separately listed by district, and junior/community college results are pulled out to produce atop three ranking of those schools.

Rankings are listed for any tournament which used the common policy topic, and for which comprehensive results were available. This report shows points earned by all schools in attendance at a tournament, whether or not they are NDT subscribers. Therefore, your school may be ranked although you have not yet chosen to affiliate with the NDT by paying the token dues membership. The final report only lists points earned by subscribing schools.

If you discover an error, do not hesitate to notify me, and corrections will be integrated into the next ranking.

I want to thank those tournament directors who were so kind in providing me with timely reports of their results.
