One for each team
Silly as it sounds, the length of a timeout depends upon how many TV commercials have been shown in the half. Besides the end of the quarter and the 2-minute warning, there are 8 additional "TV timeouts" which will extend the length of any given team timeout to 1 minute 50 seconds. Once all of the TV timeouts have been used up, any remaining team timeouts taken will only last 30 seconds.
