APDA Nationals 2006:
May Madness III
As I will be judging at this year's National Championships, I thought I'd revise this little project. I also made a bracket in 2002 and 2003.
Debaters who are not ranked together are ranked as an average between their best performances. Apologies to Amanda Whiting for her exclusion as no other Williams debater did well enough to pull her into the field of 64, despite her personal ranking in the top 64. For those of you who want a play-in round for the bottom 16-seed, a Princeton E team of Nunan/Shih would be the 65th team in the field, to debate NYU D (Lane/Tuggey) in the play-in.
As with prior renditions of this, the bracket is a precise ranked bracket of teams #1-#64, and the regional names are added afterwards to add flavor. The regions do not affect actual distribution of teams. Let's keep in mind this is all in good fun and not meant as a way of ranking debaters so much as fulfilling a thought experiment!
