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.

We learned at Champs the hard way last year that we need to have a member of the drive team hang around the question box through at least the match following the one we just completed...every time and maybe to remind the head ref and FTA that a replay due to a field fault should only take place if the
outcome of the match is affected, not because an opponent's ranking was lowered due to loss of a few autonomous points...or any other hypothetical issue that may arise.
