I doubt this as the synching would only be required for VAR (or vertiual movement or whatever the name is used for it which I know EPL doesn't have). I'd imagine it would not deliver value for money to pay for.multiple synced feeds
I doubt this as the synching would only be required for VAR
So effectively the VAR on tight calls is unlikely to be "sure" whether a player is offside or not.According to an article on ESPN that went into great detail on how VAR actually works in practice in the Premier League, the VAR normally has a choice of three frames to use when deciding on which exact point in time to use for an offside decision.
I think there was a link on here to the article but I can't find it just now.
Anyway, since it has been estimated that a player moving at full speed can travel 20cm between frames that translates to a possible 40cm discrepancy between the first and last of the three frames they're looking at. That's quite a margin of error to be dealing with.
Well, as @ChasTutorObserver says, they're looking at whether the player is closer to the goal line rather than level but yes, according to what I recall of the line-drawing when I've seen it taking place, the line is drawn from the edge of the ball closest to the goal line. Difficult to see how else it could be done though - drawing the line any other place would not show what it needs to show.So effectively the VAR on tight calls is unlikely to be "sure" whether a player is offside or not.
I can't be bothered checking - is it the edge of the ball nearest the goal line that is used to judge "level"?
