video referee
Screen-watching match official
A video referee is an official who reviews recorded footage to assist with contested decisions in sports matches.
The role emerged as broadcast technology made it possible to scrutinize plays that on-field referees might miss or misjudge.
Video referees typically rule on scoring plays, fouls, and boundary calls: The video referee confirmed the try.
Also called video assistant referee (VAR) in soccer.
