- The sample verdict cites FIBA OBR Article 37.1.1 and distinguishes contact strength from the criteria for an unsporting foul.
Field notes
The workflow accepts a short phone video, a question, and a category, then promises a structured ruling rather than an informal comment. The displayed example applies FIBA OBR Article 37.1.1 to a fast-break contact and explains why the absence of a legitimate attempt to play the ball matters more than contact strength. The service says uploaded video is deleted after 30 days, while the verdict remains available in the user’s account as a PDF.
