During any stoppage, if it is practical to do so, a team’s captain, spirit captain, or coach, may enter the field, without being asked, to encourage a player from their own team to change a call. However this may only occur if the outcome will be to the detriment of their own team.

Teams may use a non-player as a translator to assist in communication during a stoppage. Translators should act in good faith to translate as accurately as possible. People who are translating should clearly announce to both teams when they are translating and when they are instead providing advice on a call. The time limits detailed in section A5.7.2.1 will apply if a translator is being used for a discussion.
