Sports has grown into a big industry these days. The professional approach to sports, its commer-cial value and spectator interests has brought about substantial changes in how a sport is played and viewed. These changes has brought about eye catching performances from the players and with more and more spectators enjoying sports, the need to judge the application of laws, rules and regulations governing such sports has also changed drastically. The pressure on umpires, referees and judges to be error free is like never before. Given such circumstances how a game is being evolved, how the spectator’s interest is being cultivated and how the impact of any decision is felt by a player concerned is becoming more critical than ever before. With this background a survey was initiated to gather the opinion of various stakeholders to arrive at some logical conclusion on how technology in influencing Law, Rules and Regulations of Sports and Games and if it needs to be so. A specific questionnaire was designed and circulated among interested participants not only locally but across the world. The responses supported the use of technology in sports today though some of the participants felt that technology may not be an answer as a foolproof method to overcome human error.
