The Competitive Edge. | 2. ArbITer: Informatics and Refereeing

In the second episode of "The Competitive Edge" we speak to Dr.
Otto Kolbinger, a research associate at TUM’s Chair of
Performance Analysis and Sports Informatics. We dive into one of
the fastest developing and most controversial areas of sports:
Technological Officiating Aids (TOAs). Dr. Kolbinger shares
insights from his research on the use of technology in sport to
support refereeing and umpiring decisions. We discuss the drivers
behind the use of TOAs, their impact on viewer experience and how
it might be optimised to better serve competitors and
spectators.

... and as technology takes more and more of a role in
competitive sport, will human referees ever become obsolete?
