New Jersey is set to become the first state to use instant replay for regular season high school football.
After receiving the consent of the National Federation of High Schools, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association approved a voluntary replay system last month for schools using Hudl Sideline, a tech platform that syncs live video across multiple devices for quick review on sidelines. Replays are available in less than five seconds.
Jack DuBois, assistant director of the NJSIAA, told CBS radio affiliate KYW that consideration for replay came at the behest of coaches and officials and its implementation would be “very minimal — probably score, no score; fumble, no fumble, that type of thing.
