I've given this some thought, and here is where I classify them currently. This list may be inaccurate. In which case, feel free to correct it with your own.

  1. whiteflame
  2. Blamonkey
  3. Barney
  4. Savant
  5. Wylted

To be completely honest. I am not sure who is the superior debater between Barney and Savant. As far as I am currently aware, neither one has lost a debate. And both seem to operate on an equal level and debate the same subjects, but on different sides.
Savant usually debates abortion and is capable of debating either side, but usually defends the position that abortion is immoral. 
Barney always sticks to his position of pro-choice. It's difficult for me to compare these two, and I would have to see them debate against each other to realistically compare.

Between blamonkey and whiteflame, this same comparison is very tricky because it's very close. But I'd argue that whiteflame is slightly better enough for the distinction to be subtly obvious.

I’d say Savant is better than me. Not to say I don’t have my moments, but the absolute best thing about my debates is my dedication to entertaining the audience; which is very nice and all, but doesn’t make me right or more logical (in fact, it has turned into unintended red herrings).

And damnit, now I am curious how many times I argued the anti-abortion side, if I did… One of my fundamental pieces of advice is to argue against your own beliefs to grow!

It’s certainly possible. The method I’m using to determine the skill-gap hierarchy is the times I skimmed and voted through all of your guys’ debates. I’m not sure how reliable this is though. 

What are your strongest beliefs currently? 
Or areas of expertise you pride yourself on?

I hope Best stays up there forever, I couldn't imagine more degrading graffiti to paint onto the idea of treating debate like a sport.

Person would have to lose over 100 rated debates without winning any just to beat that rating. I dont really see anyone being autistic enough to do that.
