Debate judging, minus the panic

Remember everything. Write better ballots. Help kids improve.

No debate experience? No problem. We'll guide you from "wait, what just happened?" to professional feedback—while keeping student data private.

Your First Round (We Promise It's Not As Scary As It Looks)

Five simple steps from start to finish. No debate experience required.

Step 1 Hit Record and Breathe: Click "New Round" and let your device listen. After each speech, we transcribe everything (yes, even at 200 WPM). Audio deleted immediately.
Step 2 Jot Down What You Noticed: Keep notes for each team. After each speech, rate clarity and persuasiveness. The AI figures out the technical stuff in the background.
Step 3 The App Helps You Decide: The Decision Wizard walks you through what YOU noticed, identifies clash points, and asks who won each one. You make the call—we just keep you organized.
Step 4 Get a Head Start on Feedback: AI drafts "3 C's" feedback based on your ratings. Real specifics like "Your healthcare argument was complete" instead of "nice job." You review and approve.
Step 5 Copy and You're Done: Click "Copy Ballot" and paste into Tabroom. Decision, speaker points, feedback—everything. Time saved: 45 minutes.

Complete workflow in 10-15 minutes (vs 30-60 minutes on your own)

You Judge Like a Human. We Handle the Details.

Your gut matters most—that's real judging. We track which arguments got dropped, which rebuttals responded to what, and how fast everyone talked.

After each speech, we transcribe and identify speakers. All student data is anonymized—AI never sees real names. Audio deleted immediately.

The wizard walks you through four steps: review your notes, compare arguments, draft an RFD. You make the decision—we keep you organized.

Teams get a technical breakdown: which arguments were complete, which got dropped, coverage gaps. Real feedback like "you dropped their education response in rebuttal" instead of "nice job."

We pull your judging assignments from Tabroom.com. Write your ballot here, click "Copy," paste into Tabroom. Done.

Frequently asked questions

- I don't know anything about debate. Will this work for me?
  That's exactly who we built this for. The app guides you step-by-step and never assumes you know debate lingo.
- Will the kids know I'm using AI?
  Nope. Your ballot looks normal. AI drafts feedback based on YOUR notes—it's your voice, just organized. Like spell-check for judging.
- Is student data protected?
  Yes. All student data is anonymized—AI never sees real names. Audio deleted immediately.

  If you can use Google Docs and voice memos, you can use DebateFlow. Designed for humans, not engineers.

- What's the AI doing during the round?

  Currently Public Forum. Lincoln-Douglas coming soon.
