Technical time-out (volleyball)
A technical time-out in volleyball and beach volleyball is a time-out stipulated by the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) in each non-tie-breaking set. It is the formalized equivalent of a television timeout in other sports:
This special mandatory time out is, in addition to time outs, to allow the promotion of volleyball by analysis of the play and to allow additional commercial opportunities. Technical Time Outs are mandatory for FIVB World and Official competitions.

gollark: Stuff like repetitive tasks, adding large columns of numbers, etc, are hard for humans (we get bored and can't do maths very efficiently), but computers can happily do them easily.
