A counterargument is that even if you think a field fault didn't affect the outcome of the match, it did. If you didn't get your next cycle in time, you make a decision to play more aggressive defense, which could affect the "losing" team's score.

I think that it's interesting that this is apparently the first game in FIRST history with field faults. Heavens to murgatroyd.
Does a fault that occurs with 5 seconds to go with no balls on the field affect the outcome of the match?
