Re: Should teams be allowed to decline a replay?

(I'm ok with the concept of declining a replay if you were the winner and the cause of the replay negatively affected your time).

More importantly, I think that in cases of replays and re-scores - there should be an announcement (and maybe a written cutoff time for doing so). Our team had two situations this year where another team went to the ref afterward and had a discussion that led to replays/re-scores.

In both cases we never found out the actual reasons, and neither alliance nor opposition teams had the same story as to why we re-played or re-scored.

Communication is key - all teams should walk away with the exact same understanding, and that didn't happen.
