Mike Pereira is also acting as a consultant and it looks like he's got his way to trial an extra official in the booth to correct obvious mistakes.
They are also going with 8 on-field officials, anybody know where the 8th will be? I'm assuming the same position the NFL would put them.

"Pereira said it was modeled (sp) in part after the college targeting rule, which allows replay to step in and call targeting even if was not called on field, or take it off if was called but wasn't not really targeting.
"If you get a helmet-to-helmet spear and it's not called on the field, it can be picked up by the ninth official," Pereira said. "He has the ability to do it in real time. It doesn't go to replay. ... He can call down to the field and say, 'Hey, spearing on No. 33 of Birmingham, 15-yard penalty, let's go.'
"It's correcting errors on the field by another member of the officiating crew without having to go to replay to do it and having a three-minute stoppage to do it."
If the SkyJudge gets a quick replay, he could view it before the ball is snapped. They just can't delay the next snap."
