I believe it was Joe who asked the instant replay question a couple days
ago. Here is the rules that the Big 10 used in 2004 and the SEC has
adopted it for this season ...
~~~~~~~
Only the replay official can stop play to review a call. All calls are
reviewed by a replay official from the press box. If a play is in
question, the replay official alerts the officials on the field and play
is stopped. The replay official watches angles provided by the
television coverage for that game. Calls involving clock and/or game
management cannot be reviewed even if noticed by the replay official.
Instant replay is used in all conference games. In non-conference games,
the visiting team must agree to use the replay or it will not be
available. The types of plays that are reviewable include plays that are
governed by the sideline, goal line, end zone and end line, passing
plays, and other detectable infractions, such as forward progress with
respect to first down.
Also...
Instant replay was used in 28 of 57 potential games last season, and
referees overturned 21 of 43 disputed calls. The average game time
increased by only three minutes from 2003, to 3 hours, 16 minutes.
~~~~~~~
So there you have it.
Roll Tide!
Rick
