Download or read book The Goal Line Technology in Football and its Innovation Specifics What is the State of Acceptance written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Innovation economics, grade: 1,7, University of Manchester, language: English, abstract: This essay is about the goal-line-technology in football. Its recent introduction in official matches has started a debate about its usefulness and necessity in football. Several factors have influenced the various stakeholders resulting in different notions of the acceptance of the goal-line-technology. This essay tries to identify these factors and explains their impact on the acceptance. The 'Goal-Line-Technology' (GLT) is a recent innovation in soccer, which determines whether or not the ball has crossed the goal-line. The official approval from IFAB in 2012 and the following introduction in official matches marked a milestone in using technologies in soccer. FIFA had long tried to resist this development by referring to the potential faults of the technologies and their impact on the game. However, various debates show that the technology is not undisputed. This report tries to identify the factors that have influenced the acceptance of the GLT. Therefore, the different GLTs will be shown. After this the impact of GLT on its stakeholders will be discussed to determine the factors that have influenced the acceptance of the GLT. Additionally, regulations will be considered and the adoption process will be shown. The research for this report includes secondary data from books, journals, newspapers, etc. The theoretical concepts mentioned are formats and the adoption process.

Download or read book The Goal Line Technology in Football A Critical Analysis of its Efficacy and Limitations for Referees written by Michel Egenolf and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2024-03-18 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2024 in the subject Sport - Sports Equipment and Supplies, University of Applied Sciences München, language: English, abstract: This academic paper takes a critical look at various aspects of goal-line technology in football. The main focus is on explaining how the technology works. The motivation for the introduction of this technology was due to several incorrect decisions by referees when a goal was scored. After lengthy discussions, the national and international associations decided to introduce camera-based goal-line technology. Fourteen cameras are attached to the roof of the football stadium to check disputed situations. Seven cameras are aimed at each of the two penalty areas and film the ball as soon as it enters the penalty area. The camera images are then transmitted to a computer via fibre-optic-cable. The computer then uses detection software to calculate the exact position of the ball in relation to the goal line. As soon as the ball is behind the goal line, a signal is sent to the referee's watch on the field. With the help of the technology, the referee on the field can make the right decision even in tight situations. Nevertheless, it has been shown that the technology also makes mistakes despite its high level of accuracy; examples of this from football are discussed in detail. The advantages and disadvantages of the technology are then discussed in a critical evaluation, which concludes that the combination of humans and digital technology remains superior to the use of technology alone.

Download or read book Beyond the Finish Line written by Jonathan Finn and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1880s photographers and sports enthusiasts confidently declared the end of dead heats in sporting competition. Reflecting a broader social belief in technology, proponents of the camera stressed that the device could provide definitive proof of who won and who lost. Yet despite this remedy for the inadequate human eye, competitive races between horses, boats, and bicycles ended too close to call a sole champion. More than a century later, when cameras can subdivide the second into ten-thousandths and beyond, athletes continue to cross the finish line in ties. In this fascinating journey through the history of the photo-finish in sports, Jonathan Finn shows how innovation was animated by a drive for ever more precise tools and a quest for perfect measurement. As he traces the technological developments inspired by this crusade - from the evolution of the still camera to movie cameras, ultimately leading to complex contemporary photo-finish systems - Finn uncovers the social implications of adopting and contesting the photograph as evidence in sport. At every turn empirical obsession intersects with the unpredictability of sports, creating a paradox wherein the precision offered by photo-finish technology far exceeds the realities of human performance and its measurement. Separating athletes by the hundredth, thousandth, or ten-thousandth of a second is often a fiction that comes with significant material and cultural implications. A lively biography of a critical technology, Beyond the Finish Line illuminates the cultural role of the photo-finish in win-at-all-costs culture and warn that in our pursuit for precision we may threaten the human element of sport that galvanizes mere spectators into fans.
