Rugby league.

Watching the game and wondering how akida would go as AI ref. Each player has a GPS transmitter as well as the ball. Sideline laser type border which can function together with GPS. Scrap that let's go with facial recognition.
Using event based intelligence feed in rule parameters and only one of the 5 senses being visual, Akida could make 100% accurate calls on forward passes, offsides, inside 10, 40/20 kicks, etc. Player data could become interactive. Soccer, cricket (improve on DRS, Magic eye) tennis. Golf ball tracking, landing prediction based off swing. Horse racing - onboard telemetry of heart rate, cadence, speed. I know, ya can't beat human interpretation and the feel and it could ruin sport but its about the spectator more and more. Look at the huge market of betting sites and the way they constantly look for an edge to attract members. Punters luv tech, anything that gives an edge. Things that were previously taboo and unregulated are now billion dollar markets.
The time has to come where technology plays more of a role in sport. Enter akida.
Few beers, excuse my enthusiasm.
