Method and system for determining whether a spherical element impacts with a component of a playing field, or arranged on or proximate thereto The method comprises: a) acquiring images of a surveillance area of a field that covers at least part of said component, such as a delimiting perimeter line (L) of a game area (Z1-Z10) or a target (A1-A8); b) performing an approximate detection of an impact of a spherical element relative to that component or proximate thereto, with an object detection and recognition system that can discern when the detected object is indeed a spherical element; c) automatically selecting one of the images acquired for the same point in time and that includes the area where said impact has occurred; and d) analysing the selected image to check if the spherical element has impacted or not with the component. The system is adapted to implement the method of the invention.
