Compete and practice — live debate is in progress

Main Arena

Compete

In Progress

Compete is not live yet.

The tab is clickable so the main navigation is in place, but the multiplayer side still needs a backend before it can do anything real.

For now this stays intentionally static. Practice is fully usable; compete is just the placeholder for rooms, rounds, and ratings.

Rooms Create or join a debate room and get assigned a side.
Rounds Timed text exchanges with a clean transcript at the end.
Ratings Results and Elo-style updates will live here instead of in practice.
