Is the Hawk- Eye Technology essential or dispensable in sports game? Specific recent example of adopted in the Soccer.



Recently, new technology systems and items pour out frequently than before. According to shows new technology, a sport is no exception to using and trying new technology in sport competition and event. The sports are gradually changing for several years in various areas which using new technology is just part of development and also it is used to many sports. There is using lot of technology in sports events, particularly this post argues about Hawk Eye Technology. Hawk- Eye Technology focus on assist referee’s decision and makes justice. This technology in sports can change and improve the games. On the other hands, some people worries about technology make uninteresting and unexciting of the games because it control the game instead of referee. In my opinion, these days many kinds of sports enforced the technology particularly ball-sports, which Hawk-Eye technology assist referee in the game. Someone said that technology should prohibit in sports event however, it used to in a lot of sports game, and also it is going to evitable stuff in the future. This post will represent about using Hawk-Eye Technology in sports and argues about essential or dispensable of Hawk-Eye Technology in soccer with my view point (bell, 2012). There are nowadays examples of using Hawk- Eye technology in sport games such as tennis, basketball, cricket, Aussie rule football, rugby, and soccer. First, tennis begins to using a line review system in major competition, and it was first used in US Open in 2006. Sometimes player gesture using their hands, it means ‘challenge’. It can change score or make void if challenge is appropriate argument. It referee accept ‘challenge’, the monitor indicates replay situation. However, it can be make uninteresting and slower than before, so player can use just three-times per sets (Jennings, Joshua, 2010). In addition also Basketball uses videos decipher that called ‘last touch’ judgments in each quarter final two minutes of games and use replay video to make sure players are shooting within the time allow by the shot clock. Cricket first used Hawk eye in 2001 for assist referee decisions. It gives exactly judgments such as from each camera, group of pixels corresponding to the image of the ball, compute for each frame the 3-D position of an image thus identified using ball image data from at least 2 different cams, map the predicted flight-path on the modeled area so as to identify any interaction with 1 or more of the said characteristic features leading to any key event or infringement of any rule, and predict the ball flight-path from the said 3-D ball position as computed in successive frames. In Aussie rules football, Rugby league and baseball also using video technology systems for justice and assist referee (Baljinder, S. B., & Gaurav, D, 2012). Recently, Soccer impose new technology which Goal line systems. EPL begin to enforced goal line system and also going to uses FIFA World Cup at 2014 in Brazil. This goal line system assists the referee’s judgment, it determines the ball has completely crossed the goal line or not and it sends information for referee immediately (Andrew, L, 2012). Likewise, Hawk- Eye widely used in lots of sports, there is specific example of technology in soccer that was hold to a policy that any technology prohibited in Soccer games. FIFA and UEFA were negative sides to adopt technology in Soccer for a long time, but recently EPL and 2014 FIFA World Cup are going to use goal line technology in game (Sandiran, S, 2013). Besides, there is pro and cons about using Hawk-Eye Technology in Soccer and argues with my view point. First of all, there are positive sides of using Hawk-Eye Technology in Soccer with my view point. There are four referees in the soccer game however, their mistakes can occur anytime while the game (World Soccer, 2008). Although most of decision is corrected, but human error is higher than computer error. Only three referees should catch fast moving situation in time. If Goal line technology install on the pitch, it can gives accurate information to referee immediately, no need to stop during the game. Otherwise, this technology assist reduce errors in the game and helps referee’s correct judgment as well. On the other hands, Hawk-Eye Technology has negative side to installing in soccer. Some of soccer leagues are opposite side to install Hwak- Eye Technology, for example both Bundesliga and La Liga claimed that they have not plan to introduce the Hawk-Eye technology until at least 2015. To using Hawk- Eye in the game, it should install six cameras on each side of the goal and nearby goal line, it has costs problem and should prepare for all soccer stadium around the globe. Furthermore, Hawk- Eye technology requires that the ball should visible at least 25%, and spectator should rely on the only referee’s judgment (Radnedge, Keir 2012). To summaries both sides, this technology is not easily to widely using rapidly, but modern soccer need to technology particularly Goal line technology. There are example of why should adopt goal line technology. Before 2010 FIFA World Cup, there was game between Germany and England, first half Lampard scored the first goal which had clearly crossed the line by a few distance but this goal was disallowed (Daily mail, 2010). This goal is most important goal for England, finally they lose against Germany. This game would have been different situation if goal line technology used in the game. Not only between Germany and England game, there was regarded as not valid goal in most of soccer match. In my view point, Goal Line Technology is one of the good stuff to assist referee also helpful to process match smoothly. Before some of games struggles wrong decision because Soccer did not adopt this technology yet. (Lennon, 2013) This technology can decipher result that has goal or ghost goal, so that spectator feels more interest because of exactly review immediately on the screen. Otherwise, this technology is inevitable in the future so now is the right time to install Goal line technology. Although I agree with installing Hawk-Eye Technology in soccer, I disagree to install excessive technology in the soccer.

Taekwondo electronic protective gears: pros and cons? With my view points (Best blog)

Since Taekwondo was adopted as a competitive sport in 2000 Sydney Olympic, Taekwondo is an official Olympic event. The world Taekwondo championship held last 15, July, 2013 in Mexico. Taekwondo is Korea's traditional sport, but it has become popular around the world. These days, a number of people learn Taekwondo in many countries and many people are interested in watching Taekwondo competition. Otherwise, Taekwondo tires to develop in order to one of the best sports event in the world. Recently Taekwondo imposed electronic protective gears because of impartial judgment in the competition and makes more exciting than before Taekwondo competition. This system is an excellent idea and serves to further remove subjective decision making from the scoring of Taekwondo. Purpose of Electronic protect gear is liaise between tradition and globalization of Taekwondo. This post will talk about advantages and disadvantages of using electronic protective gear in Taekwondo competition and debate pros and cons of using electronic protect gears with my view point and comparison with other sport games. In addition, this technology has a possibility of improvement and this technology is necessary or not in the future (De-hao,2012). First, there are brief summary of taekwondo electronic scoring system in the competition. Basic of rule is little different than previous rules. Electronic protect gear assist referee’s judgments for example show within striking distance attacking and blind spot attacking on the game in other words body shots are counted automatically (Han, 2012). In addition, it measure the strength depends on weights division. To score a point your punch or kick has to be accurate and powerful. Taekwondo depends on only referee’s judgment before adopt this technology, it reaches uppermost limit because of frequent wrong decision and judgments dispute arose repeatedly on the game (Macky, 2012). In addition, there are talk about pros and cons of using electronic protective gears with my view points. This technology increase Taekwondo competitiveness in the Olympic and also make well-known sports in the world. The main point of adopt this technology is that assists referee’s justiciable judgments. It provides information which referees blind spots. Before using electronic scoring system, most of Taekwondo competition was embroiled in controversy because of referee’s wrong decision. This technology developed rapidly in every year. It first used world Taekwondo championship in Copenhagen in 2009 and also it re-launched successfully in London Olympics 2012 (Han, 2012) It begins to use just four years so that after decade, electronic protective gear will become catholicization technology in Taekwondo competition. On the other hands, it also has some of weakness to using in Taekwondo competition. These days, others said electronic protective gear is going to kill Taekwondo (Ahn, 2009). First thing is worry about arise malfunction during the game. Sometimes, this technology makes wrong scores also do not count scores during the game. Those errors impede losing match stream also audiences feel less speedy and less exciting when they watch the games. For example there are compare with Fencing and Taekwondo, both sports is not same sports but use electronic protective gears. In the case of Fencing, Fencing game does not appear to happen to referee’s wrong decision or not appear any judgment dispute during the game(Evangelos, V., Charilaos, T., & Marietta, R, 2010). In addition, electronic protective gear can count whole body. In contrast case of Taekwondo, this electronic protect gear cannot count full body so referee judgments to specific attack during the game. A number of people and athletes concerned that some of origin rules were changed by using electronic protective gear in the game. It makes hard to get scores because of excessive limit and complex rules. There are compare with similar sports and Taekwondo. Judo, Boxing and wrestling did not use electronic protect gears in the game (Emerson, F., Stanislaw, S., Jr, Cassio, M. M., & Go, T, 2008). Two sports often arises referee’s wrong decision and judgment dispute; however, they reinforce origin rules and focus on improve referee’s ability. Taekwondo should focus on not only develop technology in the games but also promote referee’s ability. In my view point, Taekwondo was adopted in Sydney Olympics 2000, it accomplishes many things such as became a popular sports and regular event at the Olympics in a brief span of ten years. There was a lot of errors and controversy however, I think that Taekwondo now undergo trial and error in order to become international sports in the world. All the popular sports suffered trials and errors so that became popular sports. As for the electronic protect gears, this devices is part of development of Taekwondo. In addition, electronic protect gears first used in world championship in 2009, it means that it is just a process of trial and error, a few years later, this technology will assist developing of Taekwondo (Jae, K. Y., Kevin, C., Yonghwan, C., & Youngjin, H, 2011). Someone said this device will destroy traditional of Taekwondo, in my opinion, if experts invent perfect electronic protect gear, this device will inherit the traditional heritage. At this time, Taekwondo need to more concerned and encourage their effort gradually. The most burning problem is referee’s impartial judgment and grows up international referee particularly on the basic of strict screening when delegate referee. Taekwondo become stronger than before not only referee and technology but also in many areas. Plus it will be harmony with traditional values and modern technologies in the future.
