Extemp rankings

I don't know If anyone noticed, but extempprep.org has created some extemp rankings. They're not perfect, but their worth talking about.

The problem it seems with those rankings is that they only take into account finalist performances, and not where they fell in larger tourney break rounds. Secondly, a lot of those folks are from the same schools, which has always been a flagrant sign of support for locals.

Nonetheless, good effort, as you said, if for no greater reason, they're good for conversation.

Furthermore, now that I look at the results from which they drew their figures... there are some rather sketchy tournaments if you're planning to compare them to the Harvard's MBA's Yale's etc... a tournament which is obviously Florida-based and includes pretty much all Floridians? It sets a bad precedent...

Chances are that list is only updated up to UPENN of this year. It is devoid of some serious extemp players (Anish Mitra, the Eastview HS kids, Brian Donohue, Max Wolson, Liz Kraut, Logan...just to name a few).

Everyone is of the same sentiment, most-likely, Justin. But its all good G, I don't think any ballerific extempers are ready to cry because they're not on the internet. And McGeary has paid the cost to be the boss.

speak for yourself mr donohue...upon realizing id been unranked against a girl who hasnt competed this year...and a kid with the last name dubin (ok so dubin is ok)...i nearly broke down

additionally congratulations on winning states mr donohue...even if you won it a year after an extemp state champ meant something BURRRN

IX and USX were both 2 man shows, its all good. I know Max, but to say the least, lets see how everyone does in the BEEEEHIVE. I don't think the Mormons are ready for Florida.

$10 says Donahue does something to offend a mormon in SLC...or he ends up married by the end of the trip

I'm a reformed man. As of last weekend, my old ways are long gone.

And Josh, I hope you do go so a cop can remove a latex pouch from your *** as you get arrested.
