15.)  A resolution to add 20 second time out per half.

 Submitted by: James Gumbert, team representative for Texas Stampede
 
Identify the specific provision to be changed:

Rules of Play, Section 7, Article 54: The time out Rule

 
The language of the proposal:

To add a 20 second timeout per half that CAN NOT be banked or carried over for 2nd half or overtimes.

 
State the reason the proposal should be passed:

A 20 second timeout will allow teams to reset on 1 play during a half. The same rules would apply as a full time out however 20 seconds is a very short time and would initially be used as a “reset timeout”

Reset?

The best teams have "reset" timeouts... Do we need to add another?
I think this deserves a little attention.
