Responding to VAR updates
I need to respond to a Chinese user's message about updated VAR rules for the Football World Cup, but my last knowledge was in October 2024. It’s now December 2025, so I might not have the very latest updates. I could clarify by asking which tournament they're interested in or provide a summary of the 2024 updates, like the changes to semi-automated offside technology and VAR protocol clarifications.Clarifying VAR updates
The EPL voted to introduce semi-automated offside technology in autumn 2024 and also decided to scrap on-field reviews for some factual offsides. They’re exploring the idea of broadcasting referee audio after matches. There's been a trial of communicating VAR decisions live during tournaments, and FIFA plans to use similar methods for the 2026 World Cup. Given the ambiguity in the user's question, I should ask for clarification: are they interested in what's new, when it will be implemented, or which source to refer to?Summarizing expected VAR updates
I need to summarize the likely VAR updates for the 2026 World Cup. SAOT will continue, with in-stadium announcements expected, and it seems there's a plan to reaffirm that VAR will only address clear and obvious mistakes. There might be a new offside "tolerance zone," and the distinction between "clear line" and thicker lines is also relevant. Since the user mentioned VAR updates, I should ask if they want a quick summary of the latest changes and clarify which competition they're interested in.
你是想看“这次具体改了什么”的要点速览，还是要对比上版的逐条差异？另外，关注的是世界杯（FIFA/国家队）还是联赛版（英超/欧冠）？
基于最近两季IFAB/FIFA公开信息与赛事实务，VAR相关的主要更新/趋势一般包括：
- 半自动越位（SAOT）：继续作为标准配置；越位属于“客观事实”，多为“无场边回看”（不必OFR），并提供3D动画用于转播与现场大屏。
- 裁判场内播报：维持/扩大试点，改判后主裁通过扩音器简短说明结论与原由（语言和长度受赛事运营规定约束）。
- 介入门槛不变但更强调克制：仅“明显且清楚的错误/严重遗漏”才介入；越位、出界、红牌身份错误等客观事项可直接纠正。
- 越位细化指引：继续强调“故意踢球≠任何触球”；防守方的非控制性接触通常不“重置”越位；对守门员/对手视线或动作干扰的判定阈值更明确。
- 回溯范围与APP：回看限于“进攻阶段”（APP）内的可关联犯规，不无限回溯；二次进攻或新阶段的犯规一般不追溯到旧阶段。
- 点球与守门员提前移动：门将踏线/越线的客观检测与重罚流程与VAR清单对齐；点球判罚建议OFR，但客观元素（禁区内外、接触部位）可直接更正。

- 针对世界杯版VAR协议的逐条对比（含以前版本差异与典型判例）；
- 结合你常见的争议场景（越位挡视线、回追防守触球、手球+越位叠加等）的判定流程图。
告诉我你偏好的版本和目标赛事，我就按那个产出并配上简明示例。若需要，我也可以帮你核对最新一版IFAB/FIFA原文条款编号与原句。
