ABOUT US


WHAT IS ZIGGY ONLINE DEBATE®?



     Ziggy provides access to national debate tournaments at minimal cost with
maximal convenience.

     Ziggy Online Debate® is a national online debate tournament platform for
middle school, junior high, high school, and collegiate debaters. We use topics
from the Stoa, NCFCA, and ASDA leagues, and offer Team Policy/Cross Examination,
Lincoln Douglas, Moot Court, and both Team and Individual Parliamentary debate.
Moot Court will be offered this fall 2023 semester using NCFCA’s topic. Also
offered Fall 2023, is our first ever junior team event.

     Here’s how it works: Students complete one debate each week (in the Fall)
or every two weeks (in the Spring). They are matched against other students
around the country based on performance. The judge pool is comprised of
students’ parents, coaches, and alumni. Students learn life skills by taking
control of their own schedule and communicating with their opponent to find a
time during the week that they can both debate, then they contact judges using
our Judge List software to request a judge. Students will receive their ballot
instantly when the judge submits the ballot, so they can get immediate feedback.

     Judges and debaters use the Ziggy Online Debate® Tournament Platform to
schedule rounds and fill out and view ballots. Skype, Zoom, Discord, Google
Hangouts, and Google Meet are frequently used for the video or voice debate
rounds. Debaters can self-time and/or time each other.

TESTIMONIALS


WHAT OUR DEBATERS AND JUDGES SAY

Read More Testimonials
“I’m going into my third year of competition and Ziggy was one of the best
decisions I made to help prepare myself. It gave me a national perspective as
each region is different in its own way. I watched my speaking and communication
abilities begin to develop as I got more and more practice through these
debates. Being able to choose when your round happens in the week + time span
you’re given is a huge plus. You also get to meet other debaters across the
nation. Ziggy is one of the best decisions you could make for getting debate
practice."
Zoe Abbott, COMPETITOR
“I am grateful for Ziggy because it gives you a ton of practice with arguments
from all over the nation to different judge perspectives to communication
skills. if you have a small debate club then Ziggy should be a top investment
for you because then you won't have to debate the same club members 24/7. Highly
recommend!”
Kaylee Dodson, competitor
"Ziggy is a necessity for any debater. The ability to practice your rounds
online, both before and during the season, allows debaters to develop their
arguments in a way that would be otherwise impossible, and gives those who use
it a pronounced competitive edge. On a personal level, I credit much of my
success to honing my skills in Ziggy tournaments. The tournament platform is
easy-to-use, the staff is helpful, and the experience is unparalleled. 11/10"
Nathan Spencer, competitor
"In my opinion, Ziggy is one of the best ways to improve your debate skills. The
weekly practice rounds have helped me encounter new arguments and cases, and has
helped me become more familiar with the resolutions (which is really great for
new debaters!). On top of that, Ziggy's staff has been incredibly kind and
helpful, and they've done some really fun events! Overall, I would highly
recommend Ziggy to anyone seeking to improve their debate skills as well as
those looking to make new friends!"
Jonah Lang, competitor
“Try, try, try again. And when after that you fall and fail, try one more time.”
This is advice that I’ve received time and time again. This powerful advice is
exactly why Ziggy means so much to me. Ziggy enabled me to have well over 150
practice rounds. In the fall of 2020, I decided to sign up for 6 different Ziggy
rounds per week — I loved to debate, and I really wanted to improve and get
better, even when I failed in rounds. Near the end of my high school debate
career, Ziggy paid off 1000%. I placed 4th at the 2021 NCFCA nationals — only
because of the immense amount of practice rounds I had been able to achieve in
the time before. Ziggy allowed me to test out new case ideas, receive tons of
feedback from judges, and even get closer to the partner that brought us both to
4th at nats. I will forever be grateful to Ziggy and Isaac Sommers for creating
this wonderful platform. And I’m hopeful that, if you would just give it a try,
Ziggy too can be as helpful to you as it was to me. #LongLiveZiggyOnlineDebate
