The goal line technology will be in addition to the goal line judges used during the playoffs.

In line with other leagues such as the NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB, the MASL will investigate the use of goal-line technology to aid the on-field officials.

“Implementing technology that will improve the on field product and ensure fans and players real outcomes of games eliminating all human error. This game moves fast, technology may be the only way to keep up,” said Joshua Schaub, MASL Commissioner.
