2007 NPDA Nationals: Survey Results

Thanks to Joe Gantt for additional analysis and Kevin Minch for putting together the results.

These are the results files for the survey done at the 2007 national tournament. They are divided up into the following files:

• All attendees
• Only directors of debate/forensics
• Responses to open ended questions

Two additional notes about the survey:

1. For the question about MPJ (Mutually preferred judging):
   
   There were 8 respondents who listed both option 4 and 5 (ABC MPJ & ordinal)
   One respondent listed both 1 and 4 (current system & ABC MPJ)
   One respondent listed both 1 and 7 (current system & other)
   6 respondents listed both 2 and 4 (more strikes & ABC MPJ)
   One respondent listed both 2 and 5 (more strikes & ordinal MPJ)
   
   This accounts for 17 extra responses, or 12.9%.
   
   
2. The PDF files are not yet accessible; in the interest of getting the files on the website and for discussion, work will continue on making the files accessible.

Any questions about the survey itself should be sent to Dr. Kevin Minch
