In the past refs only had to enter a foul or maybe a score, but the teams weren't stopped from entering game pieces until after the panel and linked field systems responded.

Honestly I think this might have been the most universal frustration with the game. In trying to brainstorm rule changes for our off season competition, one of the things we thought of was placing the onus on teams to get it right. If you put the ball in play before the other one scores its a technical foul. Pedestal issues were certainly the reason for the majority of the replays I have seen. I used the panels in 2011, 2012 and 2014, and the response time was about the same in all three.
