Speech and Debate Timekeeper 2.2 (Default branch) |
|
|
Speech and Debate Timekeeper is a multi-platform debate timer for various debate formats and individual events. It has speech order and time limits preprogrammed for Policy, Lincoln-Douglas, Parliamentary, Public Forum, World Schools, Karl Popper, and miscellaneous debate formats. It also tracks prep time for both sides. All time limits are user adjustable. These timers give visual and/or vocal time signals at user defined intervals. At the end of each speech, cross-examination, or preparation, the timer automatically sets itself to time the next thing that needs timing at the push of a button.

Changes:
An illustrated user manual is included with this release in PDF format. The prep time for Lincoln-Douglas has been updated to 4 minutes. This is the new rule for the National Forensics League since mid-2007. It is now possible to display the prep times for both sides of a debate at any time. This new feature is accessed through the View drop down menu. Spoken time signals are turned on by default for policy debates only. For all other events, time signals are silent by default, except for prep times and the first and last minutes of constructive speeches in parliamentary debates.
