Applying modern VAR technology:
For the first time, 12-eye VAR technology will be applied at the "Dan Tri 20 Years - Bright New Day" pickleball tournament with the support of MK Vision technology unit.
This is considered the most modern technology applied for the first time at a pickleball tournament in Vietnam with the goal of ensuring the highest level of transparency and fairness, minimizing disputes between athletes and referees in matches for hidden situations, where the ball's trajectory is not visible, or the speed is too fast for the naked eye to follow.
Thanks to this technology, referees have a clearer view of situations where the ball touches the line or goes out, or other foul situations by athletes, thereby minimizing errors and controversies after decisions.
In addition, there will be 9 cameras attached to the referees, helping to protect the referees after the decisions they make. This helps the matches to be more professional, avoiding complaints from athletes in situations of serving out or errors when serving or playing.
Thanks to that, the match also reduces dead ball time, bringing excitement to the audience on the field watching and cheering for the athletes.
