Re: Use of Timeouts

This may vary by region, volunteer crew, or competition, but are FIELD TIMEOUTS displayed on the screen or alliance wall timers? Or a count from the field reset signal? Do head refs start a stopwatch after each field reset signal in elims?

It would be to an alliance's benefit to wait until 1:59, much like coaches and players in other sports can watch clocks and call timeouts at specific/final points. Heck, sometimes you see people standing right in front of refs for a while, but making the "T" at the last second!
