Know what the problem is with coin tosses? You have to wait two or three seconds while the referee checks whether it lands heads or tails. That, and it doesn’t involve computers.
The Liberty Bowl’s Coin Toss Was The Most Ridiculous Coin Toss
↵Enough of that antediluvian nonsense! At the start of the Liberty Bowl, first possession was determined with the assistance of a system called eCoinToss. A specialized coin, equipped with sensors, was flipped. Data was sent to a computer, which then showed a visualization on the big screen of the coin’s position in mid-air. The result: fans were aware of the result of the coin toss a second or two before it was announced by the official.
↵This is surely the greatest leap in coin toss technology since “looking at a coin on the ground with your eyeballs and then saying which side it landed on” technology.
