We use it for evaluations and trainign

This year we started using HUDL for our officials. We have 4 HD cameras and dispatch a rookie official to video the game. He takes a wide angle so as to get all officials on the screen. Each time the umpire spots the ball, he stops and starts the video (as well as some other times). This gives us the HUDL plays. That way we also get the between play activity by the crew. We have 3rd party retired officials review the HUDL video and do their evaluation from that. They make their comments and tie in the specific plays.
We also use it for trainnig purposes. I am also one of our state observers and I video any game I observe the same way. Then my report cites specific plays.
Very hard to argue with the video. Most guys appreciate the feedback. Some, who think they are great, don't appreciate it being pointed out that they are not. Hopefully they get on board or leave.
