Timing

All debaters are required to bring their own timepiece to time the round. Do NOT expect your opponent to let you use their timer. A working timer is part of your debate case...bring extra batteries if needed!
• Debaters should use a count-down timer that beeps when time is up.
• Each debater will time his/her own speeches.
• The debater asking the questions will time the CX.
• Each debater will time their own prep-time and announce the time used to the judge and opposing debater.
