Has IR eliminated doubt and argument, or just changed it? Thankfully, at (most) interscholastic levels absolute perfection although always hoped for, and often demanded, is not required or (truly) expected.
Somehow, the contest manages to continue, the teams adapt and the challenge (and the beat) goes on.
Has IR materially improved anything, or just shifted who's arguing about what?

I like instant replay to fix the obvious miss. To make the call that "50 people in a bar can agree on." As Blandino would say.
Replay seems to be going in a different direction this year with the new centralized system and Riveron personally making the decisions. I think he's being too technical and in some cases seeing things that just aren't there.
