City Club Nights
A regular night to argue with people in your city. Each Debate Night gets its own page with the lineup, the agenda, and a single button to claim your spot.
The Idea
Debate gets good when it is a habit rather than an occasion. A Club Night is a recurring evening tied to a city, with a predictable format, so showing up does not require reading a rulebook or knowing anyone in advance.
Each night has a page of its own. It carries the lineup of debates on the card, what the evening actually looks like hour by hour, and a way to register in one tap. New people can see exactly what they are walking into before they commit.
Who this is for:
What Is On the Page
- The debates on the card for that night, pulled in automatically as they are scheduled
- An agenda so you know how the evening is structured
- The hosting club, so you can follow it and catch the next one
- A register control that does not bury you in a signup flow
- A city and date shown up front, because that is what people are deciding on
How a Night Runs
A club schedules the night
The hosting club picks a date and the night gets its own page, built from the same event engine as every other event.
Debates get added to the card
As matchups are scheduled they appear on the night page automatically. No one maintains a second list by hand.
People register
Attendees claim a spot from the page. Debaters and spectators both welcome, since most people start by watching.
The night happens, then repeats
The value is in the cadence. A night that recurs builds a room of regulars, which is what makes the debating worth attending.
Where This Stands
The page format and the event plumbing are built. The first Club Nights are scheduled for New York, Chicago, and Austin in August 2026 and are not yet open for registration. Follow a club in one of those cities to hear when its night goes live.
