Half time

In certain team sports, such as soccer and rugby, matches are played in two halves. Half-time is the name given to the interval between the two halves of the match. Typically, after half time teams will swap ends of the field of play, in order to reduce any advantage that may be gained from wind or a slope to the pitch, for example. While it exists mainly to provide competitiors to briefly rest and recover from the play of the first half, half-time also serves a number of other purposes.
