Last spring, the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association)<\/strong> deployed VOGO\u2019s <\/strong>VOKKERO ELITE <\/strong>system during its collegiate wrestling championships<\/strong> across all three divisions. This referee communication technology<\/strong> allowed officials to exchange in real time on the mat during high-visibility events.<\/p>\n\n

This deployment follows a successful testing phase<\/strong> carried out throughout the season by the Big Ten Conference<\/strong> and the Mid-American Conference<\/strong>, both of which had already observed the system\u2019s tangible benefits.<\/p>\n\n

High praise from officiating supervisors<\/h2>\n\n

Mike Hagerty, Director of Officiating for the Big Ten<\/strong> and Mid-American Conference,<\/strong> shared his experience using the VOKKERO ELITE <\/strong>system:<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAs the wrestling officials coordinator for the Big Ten and Mid-American Conference, I had the pleasure of overseeing the introduction of the VOKKERO communication system during the dual meet season and conference championships. Our goal was to strengthen teamwork and improve the accuracy of communication between the two officials in a match. The results were immediate and striking. As one of our championship referees summed it up: \u2018It\u2019s a real game-changer.\u2019The VOKKERO system enabled our officials to collaborate more effectively, react more quickly, and maintain a better match rhythm with confidence and consistency. It\u2019s a major step forward in enhancing the overall level of officiating. I highly recommend VOKKERO to any organization seeking to improve the performance, communication, and professionalism of its officials.\u201d <\/p>Mike Hagerty \u2013 Director of Officiating for the Big Ten and Mid-American Conference<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n
