INSTANT REPLAY

REVIEWABLE PLAYS — GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The instant replay system will cover a variety of plays in three main areas:

  1. possession rulings in the end zone; forward progress with respect to first down or goal line; and end zone plays involving the sideline in goal and dead ball line
  2. passing plays — pass complete or incomplete. If a pass is ruled incomplete, then the defence cannot get possession of the ball
  3. other detectable situations, such as a ball carrier ruled down by contact, and a fumble which occurred prior to down by contact
