Yes — joining a SuperDebate club in Boston is free. Some clubs may charge a small membership fee for in-person event costs, but the platform itself is free.

What format are debates in Boston?

SuperDebate uses one structured format: 1v1 to 5v5 timed debates with rounds, moderation, and post-debate scoring. Motions are sourced from member suggestions and current affairs. No prior debate experience required.

Do I need to be a student to join a debate club in Boston?

No. SuperDebate clubs in Boston are open to anyone — students, professionals, retirees, first-time debaters. Members are typically adults aged 18+, but high-school clubs and university chapters also exist on the platform.

How do I start a new debate club in Boston?

Anyone can start a club at superdebate.org/clubs/create. Pick a name, set a meeting cadence (we recommend biweekly), and the platform handles member sign-ups, event RSVPs, debate matchmaking, and scoring.

Are debates in Boston held in-person or online?

Both. Each Boston club decides its own cadence — most run a mix of in-person debates at local venues and online debates via the SuperDebate video platform. Event RSVP and format are listed on the club page.
