Affirmative team prep time used: Negative team prep time used: Before 1AR_________________ Before NC________________ Before 2AR_________________ Before NR________________ *Be prepared to tell the debater how much prep time they have used if asked. Hand Signals for Keeping Time: For constructive speeches: Hold up four fingers to indicate when the speaker has four minutes left. Keep holding up your hand until you are sure that the speaker has seen it. Then, hold up three fingers when there are three minutes left, two fingers for two minutes, and so on. When there are 30 seconds left, hold up one finger bent in half. Verbally announce when the time has run out. For rebuttals: Hold up three fingers to indicate that the speaker has three minutes left. Follow the rest of the hand-signals outlined above. For cross-examinations: Give hand signals after each minute and when there are 30 seconds left as outlined above. Using Time Cards Instead of hand signals, which vary between timekeepers, many tournaments have started to use time cards instead. Cards should be used in the same manner as described above for hand signals.
