I'm not sure where to draw the line, though, because for Stronghold, the only scores that don't factor into at least one tiebreaker are foul points, and I don't think allowing a challenge to every single Qualification match score is worth it. I'm fine with Eliminations going deep into the evening if it takes that much time to get all of the calls right, but I think Qualifications should be expected to stick to the schedule a bit more.

We could hedge it and say "changes Nth (likely 1st/2nd) order ranking points or changes rank". Presumably any team looking at a deeper ranking aggregate is on-the-ball enough to determine whether a changed call would move them. It leaves out edge cases where it'd move you closer to jumping someone without actually passing them, but it does have to stop somewhere (I'd argue).
