DVSport Announces Partnership with Alabama High School Athletic Association

5/1/2018

0 Comments

 
DVSport is pleased to announce its expansion into High School Football Replay starting with the state of Alabama this fall.  In January, the National Federation of State High School Associations (“NFHS”) approved that schools in the Alabama High School Athletic Association (“AHSAA”) could experiment with the use of instant replay during games.
 
"Alabama is at the forefront of using cutting-edge-technology in the high school athletics setting and with its deep football roots, it is a perfect place for this partnership to begin." stated DVSport CEO Brian Lowe.
 
DVSport Replay technology gives officials the ability to review video from multiple camera angles within seconds of the play happening. Once a coach challenges a play, the on-field referee will be able to review a play on a system located on the sideline.
 
No stranger to replay solutions, DVSport has been the leading provider of Instant Replay since 2005 in both the professional and intercollegiate sports markets. DVSport’s replay solutions have been used in over 400 venues, 10,000 collegiate football games, 20,000 collegiate basketball games, and 1,500 professional games to complete more than 100,000 reviews in various sports.
 
Beginning in the 2018 season, football members of the AHSAA will have the option to implement Instant Replay into their games. Alabama will be one of the first states to use Instant Replay in regular season high school football.
 
AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese said, “We are grateful to the NFHS for approving our request. This gives our officials the opportunity to use the same technology coaches have been equipped with on their sidelines to get the call right.” 

“While this replay process is in the initial stages of development, the AHSAA is committed to working with DVSport and the NFHS to develop a cost-effective process to assist both our coaches and officials in addition, all football state championship games will use the same replay fan experience DVSport provides for SEC contests.”

The AHSAA’s protocol will be as follows:
Section 1. Instant replay is a process whereby video review is used to let stand or reverse certain on-field decisions made by game officials.

Section 2. The instant replay process operates under the assumption that the official’s ruling on the field is correct. The replay official may reverse a ruling only if the video evidence convinces him or her beyond all doubt that the ruling on the field was incorrect. Without indisputable video evidence that the ruling on the field was incorrect, the ruling will stand as called.

Instant replay will be available at schools that use DVSport Instant Replay’s system. No other instant replay system will be allowed, according to the AHSAA protocol.
 Complete details of the AHSAA Instant Replay protocol can be found at www.ahsaa.com.
