At the 2015 Tech Valley Regional, our #5 Alliance had an awesome 2nd Quarterfinal match, but when the score came up, it was only 120-something.
We were confused, as we had 4 capped stacks built. We talked to the referees, who agreed with our assessment, and they re-evaluated the score. We scored 152. It was enough to barely make it to semifinals.
If the referees had not agreed they had been in error, we would have been knocked out in quarterfinals unjustly. Challenge cards would alleviate this problem, especially if the challenge card meant the referees could examine video.
This might introduce other problems I have yet to think out, but it seems reasonable.
