Time out
Strategy
Yap Zhi De Asked 9 years ago
Hi Alois
Why do players call time outs, and what they are thinking during the time out?
Alois Rosario Answered 9 years ago
Hi Yap,
Players will call a time out if they feel they need a break. This can often be when they feel there is an important point coming up and they may need some time to gather their thoughts.
They also may call a time out if their opponent is gaining confidence and looks like they are on the way to winning the match.
In the time out players will think about tactics for the upcoming points or will focus on calming themselves down to be ready to play the next points.

Maybe they want to ask something from their coach so that it can help to gain points.
