The test unit consists of 2 light sensors that are spaced 1 meter apart and are connected to a computer where the time intervals were captured and then the speed calculated. The unit itself is then held right at the exit point of the ball. The only teams that tested were the ones that the ref's felt may be shooting at an excessive speed.

Those three tests you speak of happened late Thursday night. We werent in question, but just out of curiousity, we decided to check it. The head ref said we were never in question at any point. I know the bots they had checked after matches on thursday, three of them, were all clocked too fast, and all had to slow down their system.

Anything that I post is an opinion from my own mind. Some may agree with it, others may not. However do not negatively associate anyone else, including any team I work with, with my opinion.
