Built by a parent. Perfected with the community.

Debate G.O.A.T was born out of a real need. Watching my middle schooler struggle with the operational chaos of debate prep, cutting cards, organising cases, losing evenings to busywork, I knew there had to be a better way. I wanted her to spend her time on what matters: strategy and speaking.

That journey led me to build a tool for her, and then to step in as a judge myself. The other side of the table turned out to be just as hard. A volunteer judge is handed a paper flow, a stopwatch and a ballot form, and asked to decide a round fairly on the first try. So the product grew a judge's side too.

Today it serves every seat in the room, with AI doing the heavy lifting and people making every call.
