In Response To: Judging question (Dave Mishalof)

first as one who has shot more powerlifting video than anyone on this planet over the past 30 years......it sounds good but for powerlifting it would be way too expensive and too time consuming...money could better be spent on the sport itself.......the only place replay is used is in pro and collegiate sports to change the calls....football is the only one that i know of so far...and that is it...i know of no other sports that even are doing it yet......second it requires a lot of money...a lot of personnel...and getting the cameras in the proper spot all the time is not possible......due to judges....spotter loaders...equipment and where the lifter sets up....

human error is a great part of all sports....why mess with it....all things will even out...
