Message: [QUOTE="MSGRET, post: 4519155, member: 8506"] They have 7 less available timeouts in a 4 quarters game vs a 2 halfs game. In the four quarters game there is an official time out at around the 5 minute mark in each quarter and each team has 4 timeouts, while in the two halfs they have 9 media timeouts, plus 5 timeouts given to each team for the whole game and must use one of them in the first half or they will lose it, each timeout lasts a minimum of 30 seconds. For the media time outs that adds approximately 18 to 27 minutes more each game. So in the women's game there is a total of 12 timeouts available in a game vs the men's where there is 19 available timeouts in a game. [/QUOTE]
