Re: Elimination Time-Outs: or Gracious Professionalism vs. The Schedule
Guys,

this has been the rule for at least two years. FIRST just reworded the rule to try to make it more clear. I guess it worked. I was an announcer at many regionals the last few years and the rule was very specific to the refs: Only one timeout during any given use. If blue takes theirs, then red would have to wait until after the next match. This has been the rule ... so you can't get around it even if you lie and say you need it, too. Only one timeout at a time.
