National Debate Tournament Update

I've been trying like hell to find up to date information on the National Debate Tournament. The most recent information I could find last night was after the first elimination round when it was down to 16 teams. The way it works at NDT is that everyone with a 5-3 record goes to the elimination rounds and they have a partial double octofinal. In this case they had 30 teams with 5-3 records or better so the top two teams received a bye in the first elimination round and the next 28 debated each other to determine the other 14 teams that would make the octofinals. Apparently, Emory's top team and Michigan State's top team received byes, presumably with 8-0 records. The other 28 teams debated the double and the results were:

Dartmouth CS def. Redlands SZ
Kentucky JS def. Idaho State DY 3-2
Fullerton MM def. Mary Washington SW
Northwestern BC def. Harvard LP
Dartmouth BM def. Emory CL
Kansas CJ def. George Washington LW
Harvard KM def. Berkeley LR 5-0
Whitman SS def. West Georgia LM 4-1
Wake Forest CH def. Harvard AR 5-0
Northwestern DD def. Emory HH
Berkeley BW def. UMKC CG
Oklahoma CJ def. Iowa LS
Wayne State FM def. Missouri State BM
Whitman BM def. USC IS

I don't know the pairings for the octofinal round, but I'll try and find more information this morning. By the way, the last update I saw that included the "#1 ranked team in the country", Liberty University, had them at 2-4 and already out of the running. Praise the lord and pass the permutations.

A friend sent me a link to this article in Newsweek about Jerry Falwell's Liberty University being the #1 debate team in the nation, knowing that I know the debate world pretty well and would find it interesting. My response to the article is: uh, no. Not even close. I'd love to know how this…
As a follow up to all the Liberty University nonsense, I thought I'd mention that this weekend is the NDT championships. They're being held at Northwestern. Tonight is the opening ceremonies, where they give away the Copeland Award to the top team during the regular season. This award is voted on…
Brett O'Donnell, the coach of the Liberty University debate team, was on the Colbert Report last night on Comedy Central. He actually talked about how great it was to beat Harvard and with all the talk of how Liberty is "better" than Harvard and Dartmouth and Northwestern, etc, not once did he even…

Ethan-

Wake Forest beating Harvard (though not the top team from Harvard, mind you) is not that unusual. Wake Forest is a traditional powerhouse in college debate. I don't know how good they are this year, but they're a regular team in the outrounds at nationals.
