CENTER VALLEY, Pa. – The Patriot League has announced the expansion of instant replay for the 2018 football season, with six of the seven League members providing access to officials by the time the season kicks off on Saturday, September 1.
Six of the seven Patriot League football members will have instant replay systems installed at their respective venues prior to the season. Due to an ongoing construction project, replay will be made available at Georgetown University’s Cooper Field for the 2019 football season.
This is the third season of instant replay availability within the Patriot League, but the first where a majority of games will have access to the technology. During the 2016 and 2017 seasons, instant replay was available at one Patriot League game per week.
The six venues outfitted for instant replay by WingWarp will have up to 12 cameras available for use by the replay officials. The replay system includes unmanned cameras along with feeds from institutional television partners and/or feeds from the Patriot League Network (PLN).
WingWarp focuses on capturing and sharing sports video. WingWarp runs official video review (instant replay) for NCAA D1 basketball, football and volleyball programs and has launched a live streaming service that produces broadcast-quality sportscasts with minimal staff and expense.
