54 Score Assistant & Hawkeye Score Assistant - Live Games The LGFA are using video technology at all live games to assist the referee with scores. Below is an outline of how the technology is used and how the process works. If an error has been made and a point/goal was incorrectly awarded or incorrectly not awarded, then score assistant will come into effect to seek clarification. Role of Score Assistant • The Score Assistant is added to the group of officials who will be linked to the referee & umpires via the communication system • The score assistant can review both goals and points from their position in the production truck • The role of the Score Assistant is to assist with scores only – no other decisions • They must attend the pre-match meeting with referees and officials – be there one hour prior to game • Ensure they are in place in the TG4 truck at least 15 minutes prior to throw in of the game. Ensure they are back in the truck 5 minutes before throw in of the second half • When the referee is on pitch at the start of the game and again after half time, do a test to ensure open communication • In the truck there are two buttons you will need: - Referee – press and hold this button to communicate with referee - Director – press and hold this button to communicate with director to get replays of incident • Score Assistant will be seated at screens which will contain all angles but please note that they cannot replay an incident themselves and they will need to call the director to get this and it will only be at a break in play that TG4 can provide them with this • There are two instances that you may need this: - The referee calls them for clarification - They CLEARLY see from TG4 or replay that the decision was incorrect. It is important that if it is not a clear error they see being made then they remain with the umpire's decision
