Part 1 Test Question

[stiffler3492]

Question:

During each extra period, each team is entitled to at least one time-out. T or F?

I answered true, but they say I got that wrong, referencing 5-11-1. What in 5-11-1 makes the above statement false? What am I missing?

It would be true in the second or more overtime assuming the team did NOT use their TO in the first OT.

In OT 1, if a team is out of TO's, then they are entitled to ONLY 1 TO. At least implies multiple.

[Welpe]

At least means exactly that, a minimum of one. It could be more if they have carryover but they are entitled to a minimum of one per OT period. I'm not sure how that question could be false.

[Camron Rust]

The statement is true. They get at least one, maybe more if they have some others left.

To say they only get 1 is wrong since they might have more.

[deecee]

I would agree but these statements are to be taken as is 100% of the time.

Saying they are ENTITLED to AT LEAST one is assuming that they have at least one extra carry over. If they have NO timeouts left then the statement is false.

Therefore the statement is false because we are assuming that the statement is taken as complete truth. That cannot be true since we do not know, and the statement does not say if there is one carry over.

Huh? If they have ZERO at the end of regulation then will have at least one on OT. What the heck are you talking about?

The question -- and the rule -- says "during" the time-out. "During" means the overtime period has started, but not yet ended. As soon as that OT period has started, each team is entitle to an additional time out.

I have TRUE.

[deecee]

At least, implies the minimum and that there could be more.

So having at least 1 TO would be that I could also have 2 or 3, etc. That is what I think the question meant.
