Personnel and Their Duties

Per Rule 12-4, replay personnel shall consist of the number of persons needed to operate the replay equipment within the necessary time constraints. There shall be a minimum of three persons to ensure that all plays are reviewed in an efficient and timely manner. Such persons are normally referred to as the replay official, the communicator and the technician. For collaborative replay centers, see Part II officiating standards Section 16.

Rule 12-4 also states that additional personnel may be used as needed. While not required, institutions are encouraged to provide an assistant communicator and an alternate official in addition to the three persons identified above.
