Do simultaneous interpreters always work in pairs?

Simultaneous interpreters usually work in pairs.

But when meetings are long and we work bi-directionally (for example, English to Russian and Russian to English), at international conferences 3 interpreters for the same language set are assigned.

In this setting, the interpreters switch every 20 minutes. This allows to stay focused and ensure high performance over a longer period of time.
