I used such tools for a while and didn’t feel much connection to them. I guess it often felt like there was no way to quantify arguments. It’s not about the number but the value of the arguments before and against a point.
I wish! I’ve been recommending this for a while but nobody bites, and usually (always?) without explanation. I often don’t take seriously many of these attempts at “debate series” if they’re not going to address some of the basic failure modes that competitive debate addresses, e.g., recording notes in a legible/explorable way to avoid the problem of arguments getting lost under layers of argument branches.
Any thoughts on using https://www.kialo.com/ or a similar tool specailized on debate?

What do such tools offer?
