I'd like to address some of your concerns.

This is true. The only reason why I included this plan for just eliminations was in order to not slow down the event even further.

Again, true. However, if teams are making challenges losing (i.e. not having matches overturned) it would be just like taking timeouts.

Right again! This is a disadvantage of the proposal.

Right again. However, I think it would be fairly reliable, as it would only be one camera that just runs constantly.

I'm not sure I understand you. The referees would be operating it, and they should be neutral.

That is why this proposal puts a penalty on being incorrect in your challenge- a loss of timeout. It encourages teams to think before they challenge.

Do you mean the question box, usually aside the FTA table? If so, "arguing your case" isn't allowed, it is only for clarifications on rules and calls.

This is why a team would have to think hard before they challenged a call.

Thanks for your input!
