When You Are the Timer    2007-2008 Lt.Governor E/T Marian Hsiao

The Timer's Duty Explanation
　

Toastmaster of the Evening, fellow members, and most welcome guests： 

I'm pleased to be the Timer of this meeting. The timing rules are as follows:

I have three flags in my hand. Whether you are a speaker, a session master, Toastmaster of the Evening, or even the President, please pay attention to my flags.  

No matter how long the time limit is, when you see the Green Flag, it means you have reached the minimum time requirement. When you see the Yellow Flag, for prepared speech speaker, you have one minute left, for table topics speaker and evaluator, you have 30 seconds left. When you see the Red Flag, it means your time is up.  

All the speakers have 30 seconds leeway. If you speak overtime, you will be disqualified and are not eligible for awards.

Toastmaster of the meeting!
