Abstract
A method (300) for managing time-outs in a game, including: putting a receiver unit (14) in a ready state (205); receiving at the receiver unit (14) a desired time-out signal from a transmitter unit (12); putting the receiver unit in a time-out approval state (210, 215) and indicating to the game official through a receiver user interface (62) that the desired time-out signal has been received; receiving from the game official through the receiver user interface (62) one of an allow command and a deny command. When the allow command is received, the time-out counter (78, 80) is incremented, and, when the deny command is received, the receiver unit (14) is returned to the ready state (205) while keeping constant the time-out counter (78, 90).
