Every competition I've ever seen video of or been to has had fairly low hanging lighting scaffolds. Would it really break the bank to put a camera on these? Simply dedicate one referee to watching the top down view, and give them a jog wheel so they can zip back. When a match is over, ref's huddle and the replay ref weighs in...

Even if you can't go for top down view, just set up a camera on the sideline. Even if it prevents one bad call it's worth it. Sure, it won't catch all of them, but it's better than nothing.

Everyone seems to paint these events as logistical nightmares, but those I've seen seem to be pretty mellow "backstage". The solution to all of these problems in automated scoring and "intelligent" feild elements, eliminating the need for calls at all. If you can't enforce a rule, like agressive play, just scrap it. It's not worth the subjectiveness of having people make calls.
