On August 4-11, 2019, the largest badminton event in the world took place in Katowice -  BWF World Senior Championships. Over 1500 players from around the world took part in it.
Our instant review system was used during this event.

During the Senior World Championships in Katowice FlyEye instant review system was installed on television court No. 1.

More about this event and our system can be found on the official website of the event https://katowice2019.com/2019/08/06/kamery-wpatrzone-w-linie-instant-review-system/

The system started operating just before the tournament itself during two training days and operated without any problems until the last day of the competition. During the tournament, the system was evaluated by BWF representatives. During this event, Venu Mahalingam - Major Events Manager was present on behalf of BWF. The system was very well evaluated by judges and a BWF representative. In particular, its accuracy was appreciated.

During 131 matches, the players asked 211 times for video verification of the referee's decision. The average system response time was 16 seconds. The longest system response lasted 26 seconds, the shortest 9.

The animation showing the IN/OUT decision was displayed on the big screen under the Spodek dome during the finals and during the broadcast on youtube.
