Initial ball placement will still remain in the hands of on-field referees, but six 8K cameras will now confirm the spot of the placement.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the problem lies in the fact that cameras can’t see through bodies, and usually there’s always a level of doubt about where the ball is regardless of quality of camera. We need a chip in the ball. This seems like nothing has really changed imo

It does get rid of the ridiculous chain gang running onto the field to measure something well within the margin of error of the tool.

Very good point, so we’re headed in the right direction
