01 · The room

The room runs the round.

Nobody chairs, nobody side-times, nobody argues about whose minute it was. The room conducts the round, and it conducts it the same way every time.

FormatsThe format runs itselfSpeech order, clocks, protected minutes, prep time and crossfires: conducted by the room, in the format’s own rules.

POIPoints of information, for realRise on a point, offer it, take it or wave it off. Refusals and expiries show in the room and in its activity log.

AI seatsAn AI opponent whenever you need oneAn empty seat is filled by an AI debater, so a student always has an opponent: full rounds or 1v1 drills.

AudioEvery voice on its own trackEach speaker is captured on their own track. The judge always knows who said what.

Proposition

29/ 40

The decisive clash

Opposition built a fuller constructive case (reinforcement, cited retention evidence, discipline) and delivered a focused rebuttal directly answering the Picasso analogy and mental-health claim, while Proposition's constructive developed only one of its three announced pillars without evidence and its rebuttal slot produced no legitimate in-window speech, compounded by an illegitimate interjection during Opposition's reply-locked rebuttal.
