The Yielding Rules:
When speaking on the General Speakers List (GSL), if you finish your speech before your allotted time expires, you must yield your remaining time:
- Yield to the Chair: Returns remaining time to the dais; debate moves to the next speaker immediately.
- Yield to Questions / Points of Information: Allows delegates to ask questions within your remaining time.
- Yield to Another Delegate: Passes your remaining seconds to an ally (who must accept, and cannot yield the time again).
(Note: Yields are strictly used during formal GSL speeches, not during moderated caucuses.)
Automated Yield Logic:
Calculating remaining seconds for consecutive yields can burden the dais. The dais management system on MUN-Key.com includes built-in yield workflows that dynamically split, transfer, or close remaining timer allocations with a single click. With MUN-Key now available as a dedicated mobile app (iOS & Android) and native desktop app (macOS & Windows) alongside the web, delegates can track active speakers, monitor live caucus timers, and follow debate status directly on their smartphones without missing a single transition.
