Which debaters score the best at Dutch debating tournaments? The Dutch Debate Ranking is updated after every tournament in the Netherlands (satisfying the regulations). If you do not want to appear on the Debate Ranking anymore, please send a message to info@debatbond.nl or talk to one of the board members of the Debatbond. We’ll remove you from the list as soon as possible.
The entire list with results per tournament can be found here. The table below is a shortened version. Debaters with an asterisk (*) behind their name have chosen to compete in only one language, therefore their best three tournaments are counted and the average of those scores is added to their total.
The maximum score is 400. The highest score at any given moment was reached by David Metz, with a score of 389. At the bottom of this page, you find a history of the people who have been number 1 of the Debate Ranking.
