# Welcome!
Welcome to the support page for PDPTab.com - the new free web-based Public Debate Program Tab software launched in Fall 2020.
PDPTab.com was created to make running high school & middle school public debate program tournaments as easy and straightforward as possible. Building upon the success of the Excel based program, PDPTab.com aims to take advantage of web technologies to make it even easier to run tournaments.
Additionally, since it's web-based, online tournaments are now fully integrated into PDPTab.com. eBallots can be sent to each judge who can enter their decision, speaker points, and reason for decision right on the website. After the tournament, these eBallots can then be emailed to coaches who can share them with students.
PDPTab.com was built and designed by Danny Cantrell, Director of Debate and Communication Professor at Mt. San Antonio College. Danny designed the original excel based MSPDPTab program back in 2004.
