The upgraded system features a six-camera electronic line-calling setup designed to eliminate disputes on amateur tennis courts. By providing instant visual and audio feedback, the technology removes the need for human officials, significantly lowering the marginal cost of hosting fair, competitive matches. Beyond line calls, the platform utilizes AI-powered auto-directing to broadcast games, a move the company claims reduces traditional production expenses by hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Orange Lion Sports Scales AI Tech to Democratize Amateur Athletics
At Beijing’s 2026 China International Fair for Trade in Services, Orange Lion Sports debuted Smartshot 2.0, an AI-driven platform aiming to slash the costs of professional-grade sports infrastructure. By integrating automated broadcasting and line-calling tools, the company seeks to bridge the accessibility gap between elite competitions and grassroots amateur play.
Technological integration extends to training and administration. The system now incorporates the Tongyi Qwen large language model, powering an AI Tournament Assistant that automates scheduling and registration. Additionally, a new voice-interactive smart ball machine adjusts speed and placement based on natural language requests from trainees. CTO Peng Wei noted that the company prioritizes cost-effective, inclusive solutions over expensive professional premiums. Currently deployed across 500 courts, the technology is expanding into European and Australian markets to provide affordable, data-backed equipment to a global audience.
