DDO Badge System is a debate tournament run by Mikal. The tournament uses a format similar to ClassicRobert's Gauntlet tournaments, but is thematically based on the Pokemon series (specifically the format used in the original Pokemon anime series and the Gen 1 Pokemon games). Challengers must first defeat either Actionsspeak or Defro before battling the eight gym leaders:
- Jonbonbon (trolling badge)
- TN05 (social badge)
- WhiteFlame (political badge)
- tylergraham95 (history badge)
- Zaradi (philosophical badge)
- ClassicRobert (imprompteu badge)
- Ore Ele (elder badge)
- thett3 (open-ended badge)
Once the challenger has defeated all of the badge holders in order, they enter a gauntlent tournament against The Elite Four - ConservativePolitico, Raisor, Mikal, and Bluesteel.
