The details of points earned year by year can be found here
A few of things to note:
The rankings are by institution not college. (e.g. UCD L&H and UCD Law are separate). If you enter separately then you get ranked separately.
They are calculated by adding up the total team points scored by an institution at the World Debating Championships (e.g. if Limerick A score 15 and Limerick B score 14 the total for that institution is 29 for the year). This score is totalled for each of the last 5 years. The only exception is where an institution has hosted Worlds (e.g. Cork, Koc, UCD etc) within the last 5 years then their score from 6 years ago is added as they cannot compete in the year when they host.
If your team doesn't appear on the list it is because they didn't attend Worlds in the last 5 years. I have considered adding other regional tournaments but there isn't a large enough BP format tournament in each region and it would skew the rankings for those regions who do have a major BP championship (e.g. Euros).
Where teams tied on the same total then the more recent results were weighted higher. (e.g. if two teams were tied on 10 points but one earned them in Botswana and the other in Koc then the team from Botswana ranks higher).
The score of every team counts. There have been complaints that the 8 teams Sydney sent to Vancouver pushes them up ahead of other teams. But the reality is they did send 8 teams. Worlds Council and the Org Comm allowed them send 8 teams. The rankings reflect what did happen not what people wish had happened.
The only exception is Yeditepe from the rankings. They were bottom of the list but it's not really to fair to them as they only debated 2 rounds at Cork before one speaker became seriously ill and they had to withdraw. 2 rounds really isn't enough for a ranking given some other teams are being measured from 45 rounds (9 rounds x 5 years). I think onw Worlds (i.e. 9 rounds) should be the minimum to earn a ranking.
There are various arguments about how I should calculate these. There have been requests to calculate these by average per team. To just take the result from the top team per institution. To include other tournaments. etc. I have looked at these and in each case the arguments are valid. However for me this method of ranking rewards every point a team gets. Statistical manipulation don't determine where the institution is ranked, the institution's speakers do. I think ranking by the total goes some way to recognising and rewarding the overall organisation of a society over a number of years rather than just the skill of one or two individuals. A college may not have a team good enough to break but they are organised well enough to send more teams to Worlds. The best institutions tend to do both and they are at the top of the rankings.
The rankings are unofficial and are just something I have published on this site for a number of years. There is talk of moving to an officially Worlds Council sanctioned ranking system. I welcome that and will work with council on this.
Please let me know if you spot any errors in the rankings.
