WSDC 2011 – Official World Rankings
This is part of the WSDC 2011 series as I recount and report on the World School Debating Championship 2011 in Dundee, Scotland as a debater, blogger and Wales national team member.
The WSDC 2011 organizers have released the official World Rankings based upon the performance of National Teams in the past three WSDC tournaments. To my relief, the rankings were identical to the ones which I had offhandedly calculated despite the ensuing problems. The only difference being that I was not previously aware that Poland and Serbia would be competing.
