Blood on player at media timeout

[Scrapper1]

This is the part that is most interesting to me:

If they want to call a timeout, it shall be charged and will run concurrently with the media timeout

So they get charged with a time-out, but they only get the time for the media time-out. And the next dead ball is NOT a media time-out.

Well, the media time-out would be longer than if they had just gotten the time for a regular time-out. But yes, this seemed quite strange to me too.

Isn't the media timeout longer than the called timeout? So that's not really a problem...

It makes sense that they wouldn't get to use the media to take care of that - there needs to be a "cost" to them to keep that player in the game.

Yes, the called timeouts are 30 or 60 seconds and the media timeouts depend on the media agreement, but will be longer, usually 75 seconds or sometimes even 120 seconds.

Think about what the rule is if each team has a bloodied player. If each team wants their player wants their player to return each has to be charged a time-out.
