Line calling: cameras decide, the lamp shows
The ball hits the opponent's glass or fence without touching the floor, and a lamp next to the court lights up. Players see the decision right away, and a disputed moment can be replayed on the court screen.
What it is and why
In padel the ball must first touch the floor on the opponent's side; only then may it go into the glass. If it hits the opponent's glass or fence directly, it is out and the hitter loses the point. It all happens in a split second, which is why this is argued about most.
On an AI Padel smart court nobody has to watch for it: the system spots the shot by itself and lights the lamp next to the court.
What it does
Line calling
- The lamp lights up when the ball hits the opponent's glass or fence without bouncing on the floor
- The lamp stays off if the ball bounced on the floor first and then went into the glass: that is in play
- The lamp stays off if the opponent returned the ball and the rally went on
- If the system is not sure, the lamp stays off so the game is not stopped for nothing
- The lamp is visible from anywhere on the court
- A disputed moment can be replayed on the court screen
An AI Padel smart court. No special balls and no sensors on rackets.
How it works
How it works
- You just play
Regular balls and rackets, nothing to press.
- The ball hits the glass without a bounce
The system notices that the ball hit the opponent's glass or fence without touching the floor.
- The lamp lights up
A couple of seconds after the shot, the lamp next to the court lights up. If the club has switched the voice on, the court also says «Out!».
- You can watch the replay
A replay of the moment appears on the court screen right away.
In detail
Line calling
Out! voice call
Together with the lamp, an out can be called by voice through the court speaker: Out! sounds only after the call is confirmed by how the rally continues. The voice is switched on at the terminal, is off by default and works without internet.
Questions and answers
Questions and answers
What counts as out?
The ball hit the opponent's glass or fence without touching the floor on their side first. If the ball bounced on the floor and then hit the glass, play goes on.
Why does the lamp not light up at once?
For a couple of seconds the system watches whether the rally goes on. If the opponent returned the ball and play continued, the lamp stays off.
It was out, but the lamp stayed off. Why?
The lamp lights up only when the system is sure. You can watch the moment in the replay, and a coach or the club admin can correct the point.
Do we need special balls?
No, regular padel balls.
