"You are up" is an idiom that is used to tell someone that it is their turn to do something. You can use this expression in any situation where you want to let someone know that it is their turn. It is common to use in competitions and games. It is often used when you've already taken your turn doing something and someone else will go next. Ex: I just finished my turn bowling. You're up next! Ex: You're up in the speech competition. You can do it!
