You actually can't "lend" timeouts this year. The end of T20 shocked me when I first read it

With all the talk of GP and helping your opponents, why would they actually put that in the rules? I think it was probably to prevent 2 consecutive timeouts.

Of course, there is nothing stopping Wildstang from calling a timeout to touch up their tie-die paintjob provided it wasn't following another timeout.
