In FTC, the Head Referee has the final say on replaying a match. It is the FTA's responsibility, however, to determine that there was in fact a field fault and that a replay is necessary. As an FTA in FTC, I have never experienced a situation first hand when I brought up the need for a rematch with the head ref and they refused. That being said, I know the head refs in Minnesota personally, and the Minnesota FTC volunteer crew is pretty close. It might be different in other areas-- I know that there's variation on how penalties are called and volunteer roles between regions.
