Debate Nirvana

Slap on the table 4:30 minutes A "C" shaped hand high above judge's head

As you can see, the last signal given by the judge is at the 30 second mark before your speech ends. That's why it is always helpful to carry a timer with you into every debate so that you know exactly how much time you have left.

 

Timing Signals for Rebuttalists for Both Teams:

Time Elapsed	Judging Signal
1 minute	Slap on the table
2 minutes	Slap on the table
2:30 minutes	A "C" shaped hand high above the judge's head
