Not related exactly to video review but it's worth sharing.
Yesterday I tried my hand at reffing at a fairly large off season event. After my experience in that position I realise how easy it is to miss something like a crossing or a pin or a g43 violation. I'm sure I missed atleast 1 crossing yesterday and that wasn't for lack of trying or knowing the rules. On an Frc field there is a ton of stuff going on and despite 1 ref watching courtyard fouls and 1 watching crossings its extremely easy to miss something.
So why not have video review? If I missed something that caused a team to lose I'd feel horrible and if there was a way for my mistakes to be realized before ruining hundreds of kids competition it would be great.
Video review needs to happen. After my experience as a ref I belive that even more. I've been on both sides of the coin now and on both sides I want video review. I don't care if it means I leave the completion an hour later.
