Timer

Prepared speeches, Table Topics, and evaluations are timed. The timer will sit in front of the speakers and turn on/off a green, amber, and red light bulb as the speaker hits each time limit.

Prepared Speeches (usually 5-7 minutes but always check with the speaker)

  • Green light – 5 minutes   (Ice Breaker – 4 minutes)
  • Amber light – 6 minutes   (Ice Breaker – 5 minutes)
  • Red light – 7 minutes   (Ice Breaker – 6 minutes)

Table Topics

  • Green light – 1 minute
  • Amber light – 1 1/2 minutes
  • Red light – 2 minutes

Evaluations/ General Evaluation

  • Green light – 2 minutes
  • Amber light – 2 1/2 minutes
  • Red light – 3 minutes

When asked for a report by the Toastmaster, summarize the speakers’ time. For example “All speakers were within time”.
