Free WSDC timer. All 8 speeches preloaded, automatic POI window cue on the debater display (minutes 1–7), bell schedule, and real-time sync between the judge's phone and the debater's screen.
The defining feature of WSDC timing is the POI window — the 6-minute stretch in each constructive where Points of Information can be offered. Most debate timers show a countdown and nothing else. The judge has to track the window manually while also flowing, managing the room, and listening to the speech.
DebateClock displays a visible POI window cue on the debater's screen — the large display that faces the room — so both the bench and the speaker can see at a glance whether the window is open. It appears automatically at 1:00 and clears at 7:00. The judge doesn't have to do anything extra.
Amber "POI Window" badge appears at 1:00, clears at 7:00. Both speaker and bench see it without asking.
Single bell at 1:00 and 7:00, double bell at 8:00 on each constructive. Reply speeches: single at 3:00, double at 4:00.
6 constructives at 8 minutes, 2 reply speeches at 4 minutes. No manual setup.
Judge controls from a phone. Debater watches a full-screen countdown on a tablet or laptop.
Standard WSDC format. DebateClock loads this automatically when you select World Schools.
