Re: This year we need instant replay
Anything is possible.
That said, I wouldn't hold my breath for instant replay. Why?
1) That requires a camera crew. Some regionals can't swing that kind of money.
2) Say you're at a Palmetto-sized event, and each team gets one review opportunity over the competition. Assuming each one takes five minutes to decide, you're talking an extra THREE HOURS waiting for the reviews to get handled. Boor-ing.
3) Having the old addage of "if the ref didn't see it, it didn't happen" keeps life simple. You don't have to worry about whether this was right or wrong, nor whether the ref actually watched the tape, nor half a dozen other things.
