Jonathan kcl_debating@yahoo.co.uk reports on the current standings.
Assuming that Lancaster broke straight to final, which I'm told it did, these are the rankings following Lancaster. If that's untrue, I'll revise them. UWE's win brings them into the rankings at 24th. St. Andrews are perhaps the first institution to now be making a sustained credible chase to Cambridge and Oxford's dominance at the top of the table, extending their lead over 4th place TCD to 50 points, but they are still 130 behind 2nd place Oxford. The top two remain within 10 points of each other, but after UCC and KCL, Oxford still haven't been able to break Cambridge's now 13 consecutive events at No.1. Manchester and KCL and Inner Temple and Glasgow each flip places, Warwick and Newcastle both make significant moves up, and Cardiff become the 49th institution to score points this season, ranking in at 36th.
