I don't know, and Frank hasn't told me. It seemed that at least some of them were just a failure to hit "End Cycle", which is not a ref-quantity, reset-training, or FMS-quality issue.
More importantly, neither the team update nor the blog prevent a head ref from deciding that a 30 second pedestal delay is
not worth a foghorn/replay. Personally, this was my major Week 1 problem. Heck, it doesn't say anything about handling a 2:19 second pedestal delay.
As long as such a devastating failure mode is theoretically possible (which is always--remember the 2011 minibot towers?), I'd like official guidance on how to handle it.
