Well... true. That's the other viable option.

Just accept the risk of human error as part of the obstacle (for the benefit of the flow of the game), and shut up about it.

I mean, yes it is the World Cup (or UEFA or whatever)... but it still a game... not that borders will change as a result of the defeat, or pillage will follow from the wining nation upon the losing one... -g

[give me all your virgins you losers ! -lol]

i would imagine given the complexities encountered in tennis computerizing the line judges,

I thought about that, too. Why not use electrical sensor on the line? There would be NO but, and ifs...

Also I think it is possible to determine the "strike zone" in baseball. a sensor between chest and knee and 4 corners of the home plate will create a strike zone.

But the big question is - accuracy always better for the game?
Will it be more FUN to watch the game if a machine or computer is making the calls?
