When you are Timer...

One of the lessons to be practiced in speech training is that of expressing a thought within a certain interval. All Table Topics, Speeches and Evaluations are timed.

At the request of the Toastmaster, the Timer explains the purpose of the function and how the lights will indicate information to the speaker.

Table Topics:


Green: Turned on at 1:00 minute - SPEAKER QUALIFIES
Yellow: Turned on at 1:30 minute
Red:     Turned on at 2:00 minute


Formal Speeches:

Green: Turned on when the speaker has qualified (two minutes before the requested time.)
Yellow: Turned on as a warning signal that it is time to wrap up the talk (30 seconds before requested time.)
Red: Turned on when the speaker has spoken for the allotted time.

All lights are turned off when speaker has gone 30 seconds over the requested time - the speaker is disqualified.

Evaluations:

Green:  Turned on at 2 minute.
Yellow:  Turned on at 2.30 minute
Red:      Turned on at 3 minutes.

All lights are turned off when speaker has gone 30 seconds over the requested time - the speaker is disqualified.

General Evaluator:

Yellow:  Turned on at 2 minutes, 30 seconds.
Red:      Turned on at 3 minutes.
