NEW CHANGES AFTER HEARING YOUR FEEDBACK. Attacking/Defending team specified AND colors to know which team is which!

Summarized here: https://twitter.com/strange_quirks/status/138341000985006081...

Not easy to get the images, plus you can click on them to enlarge

So VAR is not a bot, there is actually a person behind it. But the aim is basically to see if you would agree with their decision or not. I will soon add some help page to help people understand the offside rule.

New feature: The results are displayed as a percentage of who agrees or disagrees with VAR

haaha thats a genius idea!

That true. Thinking on this to make it easier to know the situation.

If done right var could be awesome but it's flawed right now. Also there is no more "we will give you the benefit of the doubt". There needs to be a little leeway. About the rule: someone suggested to state the rule somewhere so we do that soon.

I agree entirely.

At least the VAR people should admit that there is an inherent margin of error in the technology (camera framerate, image resolution, blur..), and offsides calls should only be made when the result is outside that (somehow quantified) margin of error.

That's up for debate of course. But generally I would say var has been horrible

Built this in about 3 hours. Little game to test your offside decision-making skills against VAR.

Send me any feedback :)

Also looking for some abstract illustrations/graphics for the home page if anyone has suggestions

It's not hard to figure out but it would be helpful to know which team (by kit color) is attacking.

Also is this just a collection of (controversial) calls VAR ruled as offside? Went through about 10-15 and that's all I got.

Nice idea. And yeah still need to get more added. It's not that easy to find.

I'm not a soccer person and only have a vague sense of what the offside condition is for that sport. It would be helpful to have a reference, even just the text of the rule, for making close call decisions.

The offside rule is notoriously hard to describe. It's not even set in stone as there is a subjective element to making the judgement in some situations.

There's an entire Wikipedia article about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offside_(association_football)

True good idea!

It'd be interesting to see how one's decisions compare to other people's decisions or other similar opportunities to yell at someone or something that the decision was wrong and everyone involved in making it was blind, in the pay of bettings sites, maliciously biased, etc.

Hey nice one.

Couple of ideas: - Add a time limit for decisions? Count down clock perhaps, forces users to make a choice quick and adds an element of pressure? - Illustrations, my go to is always: https://www.manypixels.co/gallery you'll see there are lots of football ones under the sports category.

nice thanks!

I was not actually able to try the game. The images all loaded as blank white squares for me on mobile. It also seems to hijack the browser back button every time a picture is clicked.

Hmm what browser and mobile device do you have?

Android. Using habit browser.

Great job!

It would be nice to include images without the lines VAR draws, since that give away the decision most times. Maybe then compare the score with and without lines.

That would be awesome but getting those images are tricky unfortunately.

Or maybe covering up the graphics on the screen that says "Onside" like the 26 October City v Villa

Love it. It's pretty much always: I thinks onside, VAR says offside.

Really awesome idea! I'd love some kind of aggregated stats/summary page where you could see the most-disagreed-with decisions, etc.

Been working on this the last few days. Little fun project. It is basically a list of fun social games that you can play with friends in real life with little to no extra resources.

If you have watched Taskmaster, then that is where the inspiration comes from.

Any feedback welcomed :)

My feedback is that you picked what is quite possibly the worst time in history to launch this :p

Other than that, looks cool :D

haha yeah i know that 100% but i just wanted to build it anyway :) Plus it is not really launched, just gathering feedback and improving it
