Ziggy.
Used by students across 5 countries.
Licensable tournament and event platform. Built by Meridian.
“Ziggy is a great option to consider. Participants can gain the skills associated with debate—including research, communication, quick thinking, and the ability to weigh multiple perspectives about an issue—without the cost and time commitment debate entails.”
“The confidence I gained through winning Ziggy Nationals gave me the ability to debate at NCFCA Nationals, only losing in outrounds to the National Champion. Ziggy is an invaluable source of practice and I would not be the debater I am today without them.”
Debate isn't just wins and losses.
