The game manual and Q&A cannot make decisions at a competition, because they are just words. And the GDC can't make decisions everytime a team at a competition wants them to, because they simply don't have the time and it's not their job. So FIRST has designated the head referee as the supreme judge of all situations at his/her regional.
Yeah, if a ref does this, s/he is a terrible ref. Just telling the truth.
