How Real Goal Tech Has Improved Efficiency In Refereeing

By Tammie Caldwell


In the past years, there were many decisions that were made in the field that were absolutely wrong. This was brought about by the difference in position of viewing the goalposts. This would make the referee to rule that a score had been made while it did not cross the line in reality. In other cases, the score could be denied from the team that had scored. This has brought about the need to use the available technology to reduce these errors by installation of real goal tech.

The procedure of performing this installation is very simple. It makes use of high graphic cameras which have the ability to capture images of moving objects. The cameras are well installed near the goal post in the established points.

The installation should be done by highly trained experts. This will enable the location of devices on points where they will have a very wider view. The angles at which the cameras are to be installed at are calculated to determine how well they will capture the images of a moving ball. This makes it possible to have all the highlights of activities taking place in the field.

The goal line is marked with a special type of paint that is highly detectable. This has made it possible to capture all signals that result whenever the ball touches this point or passes over it. This makes the cameras to send specific signals to a control center to confirm that indeed the score was right. The signals are also sent to the referee who can make the decision by blowing his whistle. The effect is also reflected automatically on the scoreboards thus everyone is informed.

The cost of putting up these facilities is very high and requires the clubs to bring in a lot of capital. The cameras are very expensive since they are required in large numbers in order to be effective in overseeing the matches. There are installation charges which are quite high as well. This makes the entire process very expensive to bring into being.

The technology has been adopted in many international stadiums. The clubs who own the places have found it important to have the systems in place so that they can host major tournaments. This has served a very major assist to referees in making decisions on all matches especially the competitive ones. As a result, more trust has now been put into the systems and people are convinced of good referring decisions.

The technology has been approved to be used in nearly all competitions by FIFA which is the governing body for football. The systems have been put to test in international tournaments such as the word cup where it worked efficiently. More stadiums are being upgraded to this standard.

Despite the negative impacts that some people are raising against the use of this technology, it should be used. This will help improve the quality of game played when right decisions are made. This will ensure that all participants are satisfied with the final scores that are registered at the end of any tournament.
