according to the new rule. after alliance 3 and 4 play, it would be alliance 1 and 2 playing once again. so alliance 4 would now be back in the queue, and would not ba able to use their timeout. correct?

Incorrect in the quarterfinals, where it goes through all four sets of alliances before returning to start. In semis, you have the right order. However, there is a time limit on when you can ask for a timeout. In the scenario above, if 4 called the TO within the time, it would go into effect. If not, it would not. Please read Section 9 thoroughly for the exact rules on this, including time limits.
