Posted on March 23rd, 2011 in Uncategorized by admin

Replay systems in sports are starting to play a much bigger role. Tennis has embraced technology and use a replay system that is better than any other sports. The Hawk-Eye system has been used with great results in some of the biggest tournaments possible since 2006.The tennis replay system involves a complex computer system that visually tracks the movement of the ball. It uses mathematics and other scientific systems to determine the most likely path the ball is moving. This system then can be used to determine if a ball was in or out which is one of the most important calls that need to be made in any match. What makes this system so great is that it does its best to eliminate human error. Even the NFL’s system of replay involves referees interrupting the rules and then visually looking to see what the correct call should be. Not all referees would agree on how the call should be made, and human errors happen in these situations. Tennis uses math and science to get the calls right. This helps to eliminate any bias that could be there from officials, and helps eliminate any mistakes humans can make. Using technology to get calls correct should be used in all sports.
