What does the topic mean?
Intentional time-wasting in football refers to the deliberate delay of the game by players for their own advantage.
No playing with time
No playing with time
Our hourglass nudge effectively highlights the relevance of time-wasting in football to support compliance with the new regulation coming into effect next season.
Goal of the nudge
The goal is minimizing unsportsmanlike behaviour and consistent enforcement of the rules.
- Unsporting behavior and spectator frustration
- Frequent time-wasting disrupts the flow of the game, undermines the principle of fairness, and leads to dissatisfaction among spectators.
- New regulation on effective playing time
- The upcoming rule change requires greater awareness and behavioral adjustment from all parties involved – our nudge supports and facilitates this transition.
- Status-quo – Bias
Due to the established tolerance of time-wasting and the convenience for referees, such behavior often goes unpunished.
- Herd behaviour
Many referees tolerate time-wasting. Those who penalize it stand out from the norm.
- Selective attention
Referees must process a large amount of information; specific attention must be directed toward time-wasting for it to be properly sanctioned.
