What is Drone Sports Referee?

A calibrated decision-support system that gives officials one shared, reviewable view of difficult scoring moments.

01

Resolve close calls

Give officials one reviewable reference when a scoring moment is difficult to see.

02

Keep the next match moving

Help the decision return to the field so the programme can continue with clarity.

03

Align officiating standards

Apply the active event rule to the same calibrated position evidence for every review.

OPERATIONAL REPLAY

See the call, not just the replay.

A single calibrated view helps officials review the relevant moment together, then return their attention to the event.

02 · TRACKING SETUP

Passive Tracking

Passive tracking uses reflective markers that bounce infrared light from OptiTrack cameras back to the lens. It’s ideal for complex tracking volumes where cost-effective, lightweight markers are preferred.

03 · CONTINUOUS CALIBRATION

Zero Drift. Pure Precision.

Motive calibrates automatically and continuously with data collected during normal use of the system. No longer does your calibration degrade over time with changing temperatures or challenging building movement—it is always a “fresh” calibration.

03 · RULE WORKFLOW

One rule. One shared decision path.

Use the current event rule, the tracked moment, and the review context to keep the decision process explicit for everyone involved.

Active workflow stage

Set the active scoring condition

Keep the rule requirement explicit before the review begins.
