Abstract :
[en] In this abstract, we present the results of a human study exploring the dynamics of
when to provide VARS assistance to referee. We investigate how referees' behavior and
performance vary across four conditions: (1) no VARS assistance, (2) always VARS
assistance, (3) VARS assistance provided only when the model is confident, and (4)
VARS assistance available upon referee request. Each condition involved 20 referees,
who evaluated 25 multi-view videos of the same football action captured from three
perspectives. For each video, referees were tasked with determining whether a foul
occurred and, if so, assessing its severity.
