  1. Re:Why not use... on Casting Doubt On the Hawkeye Ball-Calling System · · Score: 0

    Interesting theory, but you're not able to avoid putting the surface in the "in bounds" area. You'll need sensors on the service line (pretty much in the middle of the court, parallel to the net), the dividing line between the two service boxes, the tram lines (out of bounds for singles tennis, but in bounds for doubles), etc...

    Clay courts actually offer something similar (the balls leave an unmistakable mark), but obviously without being able to distinguish between marks.

    Looks like they've learned form their mistakes, the discs are dark to begin with and work when the darkness is removed. So you'll need liquid paper.
