Re: MAR Competitions

As someone who runs the A/V system at a district in Michigan, I can say that while video replay would be plausible, as it currently stands it would not be practical. Firstly, while A/V systems at some events have multiple camera angles, only the camera angle that the audience/livestream sees are actually being recorded. Secondly, some events record the entire day as a single file and break up the match recordings later, this would make it extremely impractical to replay the video from a single match as you would have to stop the recording and then seek to the exact 2 minute window on a 5+ hour long video that you needed.

Don't get me wrong, this is something I would like to see available at some point (maybe even having a separate recording/caching system that makes the previous match immediately available to the refs to review), but the systems we use now would be problematic to use for a feature like this.


On a side note, this thread is one of the main reasons (along with field delays) that my team avoids week 1 (and, to a lesser extent, week 2) events at all costs. We've been burned by way too many field coms issues, inexperienced refs, or match delays in the past at early events, starting week 3 or later makes much more sense IMO as most of the bugs have been worked out by then. Someone else can be the guinea pigs.
