The Timer has the responsibility for timing Table Topics, prepared speeches, and individual speech evaluations.

The target time for Table Topics is 2 minutes. Timing lights should be turned on at:

	Green	1 minute and 30 seconds
	Amber	2 minutes
	Red	2 minutes and 30 seconds.

For prepared speeches, the speaker or Toastmaster-of-the-Meeting will inform the Timer of the target time. The lights should be turned on at:

	Green	Target time minus one minute
	Amber	Target time
	Red	Target time plus one minute.

For Evaluations, the target time is 2 minutes. The timing lights should be turned on at:

	Green	1 minute and 30 seconds
	Amber	2 minutes
	Red	2 minutes and 30 seconds.

A speaker is eligable for "best . . ." competition only if the green light has been turned on and the red light has not been turned on. In other words, a speaker must be within the target time range.

The timers report should be delivered from a standing position near the Timers chair. There are three places in the meeting when the Timers report is needed. These are: after the Table Topics Session, after the Prepared Speakers and after the evaluations.
