## Definition
**Instant replay** is the use of recorded audiovisual evidence to review an event during or immediately after a contest. In officiating systems it creates a formal procedure through which an initial ruling can be confirmed, revised, or overturned.
## Significance
Replay is an ordinary model of procedural correction: an authoritative state is provisional, evidence can be reexamined, and a decision can change without dissolving the game. Its limits—camera placement, reviewable categories, time, burden, and final authority—make it a useful analogue for representational due process.
