The GAA has approved a new hooter system for Division 1 football games, shifting from a planned 'count down' to a more traditional 'count up' operation. This decision is primarily due to technical limitations with existing scoreboard software across venues. The new system will first be implemented at four venues, enhancing the officiating of stoppages during matches. Referee signals will indicate play disruptions, with a focus on improving game flow, while hurling continues to use traditional timing methods.
The new hooter system, approved by the GAA's Central Council, will operate on a 'count up' basis during Division 1 games to ensure consistency.
Referees will now stop the clock for on-field delays like injuries and substitutions, aiming to enhance game flow and fan experience.
