Notably, VAR technology was applied in this match. In an attacking situation, athlete Nguyen Nam passed the ball vertically towards the opponent's field. Initially, the referee determined that the ball was in the field. Athlete Minh Tiep complained.
To make the decision, the referee used VAR. This is a new modern technology applied in the "Dan Tri 20 Years - New Bright Days" pickleball tournament. Finally, the referee determined that the ball was in the field.
Sharing about VAR technology, Head of the Referee Board Dinh Cong Minh said: “We have tried applying VAR technology in a few tournaments. However, for the pickleball tournament “Dan Tri 20 years - New brilliant days”, we have the most thorough preparation ever. We pay attention to every smallest detail.
I highly appreciate the support for referees in the upcoming tournament. First, the uniforms. Second, the training. Third, the technology. Referees will be supported by VAR checks to handle situations most accurately.
Sometimes pickleball situations happen so quickly that the referee cannot keep up with the ball situation. VAR technology will help the referee a lot. The players can also monitor the situations.

In addition, we also apply CAM technology to monitor the activities of referees as well as athletes. This will avoid many risks related to referees. I appreciate the preparation and support for referees at the Dan Tri pickleball tournament."
Mr. Le Ngoc Anh, Director of PICKFAIR, said that the 12-eye VAR technology uses many high-quality cameras to record every moment on the field, helping referees review controversial situations in detail and accurately.
"Applying 12-eye VAR technology to the pickleball tournament "Dan Tri 20 years - Bright new day" is the passion of the organizing committee, with the expectation that the tournament will be a great success as its name suggests," Mr. Le Ngoc Anh affirmed.
