When a player is about to miss a turn during a team game, there's currently nothing his or her teammate can do except watch the clock run out.

I think we can all agree that can be incredibly frustrating – and turn a game completely upside down.

Win or lose, teammates are in it together. So why not allow the spectating teammate to add time on behalf of his ally, thereby increasing the odds of the latter returning in time for his next move?

I say we need a new button: "Add time for teammate". Let us take one for the team!

https://dominating12.com/forums/6/suggestions-feedback/2760/add-time-to-teammates-in-team-games - your thought is correct!

I also like the suggestion. Let's see how the programmers are for time.
“Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.”

So...we had a need for this in a team game.

What I would suggest is that instead of coding so that you can add time for your teammate, just make it so that anyone at any time can extend time. Just alter the messaging to say something like "Are you sure you want to extend the time for the {CurrentPlayersName|your} turn"? Then remove the check for it extending if it is only your turn. People probably wouldn't extend time if it wasn't for them or their partner, but this seems to be the easiest solution.
