ABSTRACT:
System for detecting whether a conductive felt covered game ball has landed within the boundary area of a gaming surface. The system incorporates permanently installed decorative circuits which stay in an active open state while awaiting touch down of conductive game ball. Completion or closure of active open circuit determines the ball in-bounds and thus still in-play. The control box will transmit a filtered signal to an audible tone or a wireless hearing aid designed for official use. Controversial opinions regarding continuation or elimination of the human element in officiating has allowed such a system to be designed which will initially aid officials and henceforth apply accruing detection modifications as these demands present themselves.
