The provision as it is printed, and everything on Ruleside that turns on it.

As special training and qualifications are needed to be a video match official (VMO)/replay operator, the following principles must be included in competition rules:

· If no qualified replacement can be found for the AVAR,* the match must be played/continue without the use of VARs unless, in exceptional circumstances, both teams agree in writing that the match may be played/ continue with only the VAR and replay operator
