MLL Announces Introduction of Limited Instant Replay

Scope of Replay

Instant replay will be limited in 2013 to scoring plays.  Specifically, replay can be used to determine ONLY (1) whether the ball had completely crossed the plane of the goal; (2) whether a goal scored should be counted as a one- or two-point goal; or (3) whether the last player in possession of the ball prior to the shot on goal had stepped in the crease prior to the ball crossing the plane of the goal.

 

·         Instant replay will be used via a challenge system by the teams

·         Each team will be provided up to two challenges per game during regulation time

·         If applicable, each team will be provided one challenge during an overtime scenario

·        If a challenge is successful there is no timeout charged, if a challenge is unsuccessful the team is charged with a timeout

·         If a team attempts a challenge without a timeout, they will be given a delay of game penalty and their challenge will not be reviewed
