The Manual Method:
Chairs usually use a phone stopwatch. If a delegate has 90 seconds and finishes at 65 seconds, the Chair must pause the timer, calculate the 25 remaining seconds, ask the delegate how they wish to yield, and then start a new timer for the yielded party.
The Digital Advantage:
Manual timekeeping creates dead air and human error. MUN-Key.com features advanced, automated time-yield logic. When a speaker yields their time, the Chair simply clicks a button on the dashboard. The system instantly calculates the remaining seconds, transfers it to the yielded delegate, and synchronizes the live countdown on every device in the room via Server-Sent Events, eliminating any confusion over how much time is left.
