Instant replay refers to a system where plays in a sporting match can be reviewed (or replayed) using recorded video feeds of the sporting match. This was introduced in broadcast television to allow the viewer to get other views of sports plays during the game. It was combined with slow motion to give viewers a better idea of the development of the game.
Instant Replay Challenge takes advantage of the video technology and introduces it into the rules of the game itself in order to ensure that the correct call is made on the play.
Instant replay is used in many professional sports leagues including the National Hockey League, the National Football League & Canadian Football League, and the National Basketball Association.
The first use of Instant Replay occurred December 7, 1963 during the Army-Navy Game played in Philadelphia and telecast by CBS-TV.
