Next is to convince FIFA to use instant replay....
For each team that chooses to be a part of this new system will be required to post a undisclosed bond to be part of this system that will grant each team the right to have red cards that they believe are serious and obvious errors reviewed by a independent 3 person panel (1 from US Soccer, 1 from the CSA, and 1 from PRO). If a club and player were the victim of a serious and obvious error made by the official, they would submit their evidence within 24 hours to the review, the panel would then render a judgement rather immediately. If the 3 member panel needs more time to review the incident, then it is clearly not obvious and would be rejected. Clubs will be given up to two failed reviews, before they would be unable to submit any other red cards for review for the year. If a club makes what is deemed a frivolous challenge by the panel they would lose their rights to have cards reviewed for that season and the following season, they would also lose their bond.
