Yes.
If an issue ends up complicating a regional, the head ref and FTA has the right to make the call and go to scoring the races manually. In fact, I'm sure many head refs will ask for the refereeing volunteers to take mental notes as to the finishes, so if a problem arises mid-match, that match's scores will still end up counting.
