If you read the wording carefully and do as it says then they carry over. One additional for each over time. So if I had 3 after the first overtime then I receive one more in the next time. Nowhere does it say that I lose any.
Where does it says they carry over?? 3-5-1 says "Each team is permitted one additional timeout during each overtime period plus any unused 2nd half regulation timeout's." It doesn't say any unused extra period TO's and unused 2nd half regualation TO's.

How does "one additional, plus unused 2nd half regulation TO's" in anyway say all the TO's carry over????

Let's turn the wording around, going backwards. It would then say, "unused 2nd half regulation TO's, and one additional TO for the OT period." It seems when you go backwards with the two statements that make up the sentence it makes it more clear that the unused extra period TO's are also carried over.
