The other issue is that if it is an FMS glitch that happens in every match, they really have no choice but to keep playing the matches with the glitch (with reasonable warning to the teams of course).
They replayed QF1-1 twice due to the issue. Any observer could have predicted the possibility of the glitch reoccurring and seen the effects of it if it did. Instead of stopping the match after the red alliance missed once more, the FTAs decided to let the match run it's course.
