About Us

Our Goals

Rate My Debate Judge was created to bring transparency and fairness to the debate community. As debaters, we have all faced rounds where the judge’s feedback felt unclear, inconsistent, or even biased. This platform aims to provide debaters with a structured space to share constructive insights about their judging experiences. By crowdsourcing feedback, we hope to help debaters better prepare for rounds, understand different judging paradigms, and improve the overall fairness of debate tournaments.

At its core, Rate My Debate Judge is about fostering a culture of accountability, transparency, and respect in debate. Our goal isn’t to critique judges unfairly but to ensure that all competitors, from novices to seasoned debaters, have the knowledge they need to adapt and thrive.

This platform was founded in early 2025 by a high school Public Forum debater passionate about improving transparency and accessibility in the debate community. The team behind Rate My Debate Judge brings experience from the national circuit and a shared commitment to helping others navigate the competitive landscape with clarity and confidence.

Rate My Debate Judge was created to leave a positive impact on the activity—offering debaters a resource to understand judging styles, prepare more effectively, and foster a culture of fairness and respect within the community.
