What is Off-Time Roadmap in debate?

Before the timer starts, debaters usually state their order: "Their case, then ours." The roadmap is there for the judge’s flow, not for argument. Anything substantive said off-time carries no weight, and judges get annoyed when a roadmap turns into a mini-speech. One sentence is normal. Some judges dislike off-time roadmaps entirely, so check the judge’s paradigm for preferences.
