Produced for the Intercollegiate Tennis Association by Courtney Potkey i ii FOREWORD Dear Colleagues: As COVID-19 changes our lives, all of us working in the arena of college athletics have been reminded of the lessons learned on and off the field and courts of competition — persistence, getting up from setbacks and moving forward to compete again. The ITA and college tennis continue to be leaders in the sports world at this critical moment, working hard to demonstrate how tennis can return as a safe sport. In recent years striving together has been an overarching theme of the ITA… players, coaches and officials committing to fashion an environment whereby exceptional tennis technique, strategy, tactics and sportsmanship are combined with well-considered rules to create contests of “worthy rivals.” As the 2020-2021 competitive season gets under way, once again we want to ensure that tennis matches are conducted in a safe and fair manner and that attention to the health and welfare of all involved is coupled with qualities of character such as integrity, honesty and trustworthiness.

Hawk-Eye is a complex computer system used officially in numerous sports such as cricket, tennis, Gaelic football, badminton, hurling, and association football, to visually track the trajectory of the ball and display a record of its statistically most likely path as a moving image. 2 www.edutechlearners.com HISTORY Hawk-Eye was developed in the United Kingdom at Roke Manor Research Limited by Dr. Paul Hawkins. The system was originally implemented in 2001 for television purposes in cricket. Later, the technology was spun off into a separate company, Hawk-eye Innovations Ltd. The system was first used during a Test match between Pakistan and England at Lord’s Cricket Ground , on 21 April 2001. It was first used in tennis 2006 US open. 3 www.edutechlearners.com Basic Components HAWKEYE system consists of two significant parts:- i)Tracking System- It consists of :- Camera and Speed gun ii)Video Replay System 4 www.edutechlearners.com Tracking System It calculates the following information:- 1. The speed of the ball leaving the bowler’s hand. 2. The swing of the ball from the bowler’s hand to where the ball pitched. 3. How much the ball bounced. 4.
