Leeds Rhinos asked them to overturn Sunday’s contentious defeat to the Birmingham Panthers, but the Netball Super League (NSL) has said it is “conducting a review.”
The Panthers won 71-69 at Worcester Arena, but the Rhinos believe they should have won in regulation time.
In the final minute of the game, Joyce Mvula appeared to have scored a two-point super shot that would have brought Leeds to a level playing position.
After the death, the Rhinos hoped they had won by scoring a one-pointer.
The visitors later discovered that the visitors had received only one point for the mistake they had made.
Mvula appeared to shoot from the two-point area of the shooting circle in response to Rhinos’ claims in replays.
In the final five minutes of each quarter, shooters could score two-pointers from a marked-out area thanks to the introduction of the super shot.
The game was tied at 59-59 due to the one-point decision, which shocked Leeds fans who were obviously shocked and lost in extra time.
Geva Mentor, a former England captain who plays for the Leeds Rhinos, posted a message on X calling for the NSL to “save the integrity of our sport.”
Although the NSL confirmed to BBC Sport on Tuesday that it was reviewing the incident, how the organization might handle the unusual situation is still a mystery.
The match officials are not equipped with any video technology during games.
Leeds Rhinos Netball said in a statement that they had filed an appeal with the competition’s Netball Super League to contest the outcome of their round 8 game against the Birmingham Panthers.
The game ended in regular time, which is what the appeal is based on.
