• Controversy: Why were the referees so wrong in the Cup final?

After the Supercup dispute, the Endesa League starts this Tuesday with an early match of the first day (Montakit Fuenlabrada - San Pablo Burgos) and important changes in its arbitration department. As reported by the ACB, "it has reinforced the arbitration structure , seeking the formation and continuous evolution of the members and the best communication with them and the competition clubs" in the 2019/2020 season.

"While the technical tasks fall to Xavi Torrico, new Technical Director , who will be in charge with Mario Tutor of designations and training."

"The Arbitration Department has redefined its objectives, changing the work system to renew the training methodology, improve the definition of the arbitration criteria and the technical work with the arbitrators, as well as objectify the performance evaluation and with it the designations, among others situations, "says the ACB.

16 cameras

But the most significant change comes in the Instant Replay, which caused so much controversy last season, with that outcome of the final of the Copa del Rey in which the members were seriously wrong "by not wanting to contemplate all the images that were at their disposition ", as criticized Real Madrid himself.

The ACB reports that "it has reached an agreement with the company EVS, world leader in the sector, to renew all the technology of the Instant Replay System starting in the Endesa Super Cup. The new system reinforces reliability and allows the integration of up to a maximum of 16 cameras , depending on the type of television production. " On that occasion, the white club denounced that the referees only consulted two of the 11 cameras to decide the action that gave the title to Barcelona.

Also, the acb has "updated the protocol of action so that at the last minute of the matches the members must review all the available cameras, and the delegates at the table can suggest the visualization of cameras that offer a more adequate vision of the play On the other hand, it is included as a reviewable situation that the referees can check if in a free kick someone touches the ball and is therefore one or two points, "he concludes.
