世台联官网撰文: 瑞盖科技在克鲁斯堡成功亮相

　　编者按：由瑞盖科技自主研发的中国鹰眼首次为斯诺克世锦赛电视转播提供鹰眼服务。世锦赛决赛前，世台联官网发表了《瑞盖科技在克鲁斯堡成功亮相》表达了世台联他们在多个项目上的重要合作伙瑞盖科技的支持。

　　以下为世台联官网译文：

　　安东尼麦克吉尔可谓是最抢本届世锦赛头条的了吧，但是一家来自中国的公司瑞盖也在它的克鲁斯堡大剧院首秀上给我们留下了深刻印象。

　　瑞盖科技是世界台联和中国台球协会的合作伙伴，这家公司本赛季已经首次被选作英锦赛的合作方，它可以提供用来追踪球位的电视荧幕成像技术，而这种技术鹰眼技术是由瑞盖公司来提供的。

　　这套系统能够帮助观众从球手的视角观察球路，还可以协助裁判在发生“无意识救球”之后精确地进行复位。

　　著名裁判简·沃哈斯说：“这是一套运行堪称完美的系统。它非常精确、快速，是我们用过的最好的系统。它比我们之前用的系统都更精确更简捷。球手也能很快地看到球是在正确的位置上的。”

　　瑞盖的负责人张克长先生说：“瑞盖的系统先前已经为在中国举办的球各项世台联的专业赛事服务多年，但这次在克鲁斯堡世锦赛上的运行对我们意义更加重大。在谢菲尔德工作是一件很享受的事情，我们也很喜欢这里的一切。对于这份经历，我们感到很骄傲，当然，能为世界最高级别的赛事服务，也同时说明了我们的高水平。”

　　“今年早些时候，我们为大师赛提供了服务，但那个不是这次我们带到世锦赛现场的升级版系统，这套升级后的系统已经通过了较早前在北京举行的中国公开赛上的系列测试。系统携带一个物理引擎，它可以高精度地模拟台球的实际运动情况。”

　　这套系统还可以用以台球运动的日常训练，而这也正在北京的CBSA世界斯诺克学院中接受测试当中。

　　世台联主席弗格森说道：“很高兴看到，瑞盖将他们的领先技术设备应用到斯诺克的最高舞台上。瑞盖科技在很多方面都是我们在中国的重要合作伙伴。”

　　Anthony McGill may have stolen the headlines as the most successful Crucible debutant this year, but Chinese company Rigour has also created a fine impression on its first appearance at snooker’s Theatre of Dreams.

　　Rigour, a partner at the Beijing Academy supporting the WPBSA and CBSA, has been selected for events in the UK for the first time this season. It provides the on-screen technology used to track the positions of the balls, a service previously supplied by Hawk-Eye.

　　The system allows viewers to see certain shots from a player’s perspective, and can also help the referee to replace the balls accurately after ‘foul and a miss’ has been called.

　　Leading referee Jan Verhaas said: “It’s a very good system which is working perfectly. It’s accurate, quick and it’s the best system we’ve ever used. It’s a lot more accurate and clearer than what we used before. The players can see quickly that the balls are in the correct position.”

　　Mr Zhang Kechang, General Manager of Rigour, said: “Rigour has been providing a service for World Snooker professional tournaments in China for years, but it means a lot for us to launch this at the Crucible. It’s enjoyable to work in Sheffield and we love the facilities here. We are proud of this experience and it proves the quality of our technology because it’s the highest profile tournament in the world.

　　“We provided our service at the Masters earlier this year but it’s an updated version that we are using at the World Championship, which passed the test during the China Open. It’s a version with a physics engine which is able to simulate the actual movement of the balls at a perfect level.”

　　The system can also be used for training purposes and this is being tested at the WPBSA Academy in Beijing.

　　WPBSA Chairman Jason Ferguson added: “I’m delighted to see Rigour successfully implementing their highly advanced equipment on snooker’s biggest stage. They are an important partner for us in China on many levels.”
