Yandaned (past tense), or yandan (noun) means to attend a debate tournament or any competition, and do really well in the in-rounds, but failing at the last minute and nearly making the break/finals. This looks like taking a close 2nd, when you should've firsted and the judge gave a bad call, and becoming the 9th best team, in a tournament that breaks to semimfinals (8 teams).
This is usually a really sad feeling, because you nearly made it to the elimination rounds, but failed at the last minute.

Pickhead7 - Man, I got a bad call round 5, it was unjustified, taking a 3rd instead of a 1st, I pulled a yandan :(
Raymond - So close yet so far.
