Re: Poll-Play Animations While Refs are Scoring?

For example, what qualifies as an interesting scoring situation? This varies from person to person, from ref to ref. Some refs may prefer focus while they decide, others have no problem with animation blaring in the background.

I would like to point out that I really enjoyed (nervously) the moments in GLR when the refs were deciding certain calls, and the camera was zooming in on the questionable situation. In my opinion, that really improved "average joe" consumption of the game.

I guess I'm divided.

I'm divided as well, therefore the "Interesting Scoring Situation" option. Considering that we are going to run at least twice as many matches as teams, theres plenty of extra "slots" in which to show the scoring action if its close or potentially controversial, yet still show all the available animations. Basically, there's no possible hard and fast rule. Someone on the field team would have to make the call to show a vid and signal the av guy.
As far as adding to the complexity, the systems are seperate, I'll dicuss it with th av first, but I don't think it would be a problem.
