Debate Timer
A round-based classroom debate timer for speeches, rebuttals, preparation time, and timed speaking practice.
Choose the round before you start
Switch between Speech, Rebuttal and Prep presets and the current round label stays visible above the countdown. Reset after each round to choose the next stage of the debate.
Flexible enough for classroom practice
The built-in 3-minute Speech, 5-minute Rebuttal and 1-minute Prep presets are simple starting points. Use Custom when your class or speaking exercise needs another duration.

FAQ
Is this a full tournament debate system?
No. It is a flexible classroom and speaking-practice timer rather than a rule engine for one formal debate format.
Can I change from Speech to Rebuttal?
Yes. Reset the current round, choose Rebuttal or another preset, and start the next countdown.
Can I use custom debate times?
Yes. Custom durations from 1 to 180 minutes are available alongside the round presets.
