But I think Andrew is right. I also think this was handled differently because Frank had more information about what went wrong. HQ can't always make calls like this, but when they can, I'm glad they do.

I think the LRI/Head Ref retroactively DQing an alliance after they were told they were good is far worse.

And if its different because Frank had more information, then why didnt he get more information from the Orlando Regional? This event was never even brought up in a blog post or anything by FIRST.
