Make a case
State your position, explain why it follows, and give evidence the other side can examine.
How SuperDebate works
You do not need a debate background to take part. Start as a listener, meet a local group, or try an argument at your own pace.
A club visit can begin with listening. Check the event details before volunteering to speak.
These are different ways in, not steps you have to complete in order.
Listen for the claim each side makes and the evidence that changes your mind. A recording is a low-pressure place to start.
Explore recordingsFind people who enjoy a good question. Check the meeting details, bring a friend, and tell the host it is your first visit.
Find a clubTry an argument with Aurelius, the AI coach. Work on a clearer claim or a stronger response before speaking to a group.

Both sides get a chance to build a case and respond. Speech order, timing, and scoring depend on the event; the host sets those details before you begin.
State your position, explain why it follows, and give evidence the other side can examine.
Clarify a claim or test an assumption. Use the question period the host has set for the round.
Respond to the strongest objection. Explain which parts of your case still hold and why.
Compare the two cases and show which argument should decide the question.
Each club sets its own schedule. This is an example of the experience, not a fixed itinerary.
Ask how the evening works and whether you are attending as a listener, speaker, or judge.
The host explains the resolution, sides, speech order, and time limits before the round.
Notice how each side responds. If you are speaking, focus on one clear claim at a time.
Give specific feedback, ask what you missed, and decide what you want to try next.
Use the guide for the job you want to do. An event ticket does not automatically include a speaking slot.
The first-debate playbook walks you through checking your role, building one argument, and using feedback after the round.
