Once you navigate to the screen after selecting your prompt, You should turn on your camera and record all of the following in one take:
We know you are used to reading the prompt off of paper, however, for purposes of this tournament, you will be reading it off of the screen. You may want to take an extra few seconds to copy it down onto your note card as you will not have a printed copy.
If you choose to use the video as time cards, you will keep the video playing and be able to see the screen while you are speaking. That is how you will know how much time is left. Once you finish, stop your recording device. If you do not wish to use this video as time cards, just stop the video once you see the prompt.
The time cards shown are as follows:
Prep time: 15 seconds elapsed, 30 seconds elapsed, 45 seconds elapsed, 1 minute elapsed
