Objective: To allow for specific types of officiating calls to be immediately reviewed and corrected.

Principles: There must be INDISPUTABLE VIDEO EVIDENCE for any on-the-field call to be changed. In addition, a review must have a direct, competitive effect on the game, such as a change of possession, scoring play, etc.

The ACC will be using instant replay in all conference games and at all non-conference home games.

Reviewable Plays:

Side Line, Goal Line, End Line
ARTICLE 1. Reviewable plays governed by a side line, goal line or an end line include:
a. Scoring plays, including a runner in possession of a live ball breaking the plane of a goal line.
b. A pass ruled complete, incomplete, or intercepted at a side line, goal line.
c. A runner or pass receiver ruled in or out of bounds. If a runner is ruled out of bounds, the play is not reviewable.

The ACC Instant Replay is NOT the NFL Model
