My feeling is that if the replays are easily available ( ie a big screen or maybe a personal monitor for sports like tennis ) then they should use it. How many times do you see the players watching the replays? If they can do it why can't the officials? However these replays are determined by the media so the officials would be at the mercy of what the media choose to show. I know I've wanted to see something again but it wasn't replayed. I can't see the media allowing themselves to be under that controls of the officials. Also there is the possibility that the officials will start to rely on the replays which would ( at least ) slow the games down. Ewan Tempero ...!uw-beaver!uw-june!edtking edtking@washington
