Electronics on the pitch [Ars Technica]

"After watching many World Cup matches earlier this year it was difficult to tell what definition of offsides many referees were using. Blatant offside plays were let stand, while others which were obviously onside were whistled down. Knowing the position of every player and ball on the pitch, the system could accurately determine if a play was offsides and alert the referee."

I understand the company is using a cluster of supercomputers to generate an explanation of the offside rule so everyone can understand it. No results yet.
