Then allow referees to review match video during the elimination matches. It would save a lot of headaches without adding too much time since disputes like this are usually far and few between.

I can understand disallowing video replays for qualification matches so that events can be run in a timely manner, but in any sort of elimination match the scores and calls really count. As such, it's only appropriate to allow video evidence to be shown to ensure the proper call was made.
