Abstract: A system for online debating hosted on a server that allows a first and at least a second participant to engage in an online debate created by an administrator. The system for online debate may comprise an administrator interface, and system module, and a participant interface. The administrator interface may be configured to initiate the online debate, modify a pairing of the participants, and receive administrator feedback. The system module automatically executes software after initiation of the online debate and may be configured to pair the first participant and at least the second participant from a database.
