Timekeeper’s Flowchart

Your job is to assist the speakers, the Chairperson and the judges by keeping track of the timings for each
speech. During each of the speeches you need to give signals.
At the end of the debate, before the judges retire to consider the verdict, give the sheet with the timings
to the judges. You can also help the Chairperson by acting as the ‘Teller’ and counting the votes at the
end of the debate.
