Well, assuming we have live archive tools at each event (if we ever did video replay, I'd hope that they have that), send the archive directly (or however long it takes to archive) 1 or 2 other referees in a back room. They could review every match if they wanted to. It'd be tedious but it'd get things right. Or the back room could be used for only "challenge" calls. Then continue to play matches through the review and after the match has been reviewed, say the official outcome of the challenge in between matches.

The only issue with this is that it would require another referee volunteer.

And the technical talent to allow them to 'send the videos to the back room'. And the time involved in reviewing the calls.

Folks are drastically over-simplifying video replay. If it were easy it wouldn't have taken the NFL (in a game that stays the same every year) a decade to implement it.
