Abstract

The technical abstract for the “SENSIBALL” entails a standard regulation “NFL” football which is laced with a “webbing” of paper thin sensor strips which would be constructed from a non-corrosive material such as PVC plastic. The “webbing” would be inserted permenantly beneath the outer skin of the ball. In conjunction with this “laced football” would be the football field itself, which would incorperate “sensor marker” at each and every increment of every yard line, sideline, end zone and goal post. These “sensor markers” would be constructed of a non-corrosive alloy and be placed beneath the playing surface of the field.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . The “SENSIBALL” would use sensory devices to monitor the ball's progress on the playing surface by means of either GPS satellite tracking, or laser technology. 
 I further claim that this invention would assist referees in making critical judgement calls that could otherwise be made in error.    I also claim that the “SENSIBALL” would change the game of american, or Canadian football from a game of inches, to a game of one thousandths of an inch.
