The Story in Brief
Ultimate Table Tennis season 7, which ended last month in Goa, became only the second table tennis league worldwide to use a dedicated AI review system for officiating. The Table Tennis Review (TTR), built by Gurugram-based Stupa Sports, can rule on a contested serve in under 20 seconds. Stupa has been UTT's data partner since 2019, gradually building AI-powered live stats, shot-speed analytics, and now officiating. This year alone, Stupa also got Badminton World Federation certification for its Instant Review System with 99 per cent accuracy and deployed its Advanced Decision Review System in the Rugby Premier League. Three AI officiating systems across three sports in six months, reports Hindustan Times.
The Indian Opinion
The breathless coverage of Stupa Sports' three AI systems risks feeding a tired 'India is catching up' narrative. Yet the harder truth is that automating judgment calls in sport raises trust questions that no certification can answer. The real test will come when a system overrules a star player at a tense moment. Does the league stand by the call?
