The results of numerous simulations suggest that the proposed system would greatly enhance the offside
decision. For example if Hawk-Eye were to be implemented the chances of an offside decision being incorrect are
drastically reduced from 12%, Mallo et al. (2012), to as little as 1.53%. This elevated offside decision accuracy is
the result of technology being used to assist the referee. With less of the referee’s attention required along the
offside line the quality of other refereeing decisions should also improve as less of the ‘on ball’ action is missed.
