Timer

• When called on to explain the Timer role at the beginning of a meeting, you should include the following:
  • Table Topics are 2 minutes.
  • Evaluations are 3 minutes.
  • Speeches are normally 7 minutes, but may be longer.
  • When there is 2 minutes left, the green card is shown
  • When there is 1 minute left, the yellow card is shown
  • When their time is up, the red card is shown
  • There is a 30 second 'grace' period after the red light comes on. After that, you can hit the bell.
  • NOTE: Not bell for ice breaker speeches only
  • There is no fine if you speak too long or not long enough.
  • At the end of the meeting, you will give your report
• At the end of the meeting, you will need to give a report of the allocated and used time for each speaker, TT, and Evaluator (including the GE).
• Start the timer as soon as the speaker begins their presentation.
• Ask the Sergeant At Arms for the colored "timing cards" if you don't see them.
