It's not fair to penalize alliances for their strategic behavior based on the score/field conditions that are presented to them in real time, and then go back and adjust those via video review. For instance, if a team crosses a defense 3 or 4 times to damage it, they can't get the extra time they wasted crossing that defense back. Or if a team makes a call to ensure a capture at ~15seconds rather than scoring an extra couple balls based on their real time scoring, then have that scoring adjusted when you give the other alliance a breach that didn't exist previously. Virtually any case where errors are found in video review should mandate a replayed match. Thus the schedule concern.

As a coach, I'm happy to agree with this frustration. But we've gone years without this being true in real-time scoring, since as a referee it's completely normal to correct these things in non-video reviews before posting final score. It's annoying, but it's been part of the game since the advent of real-time scoring under T20 (identical to T15 last year). As long as it's clear when there will/won't be a replay, it's up to coaches to take it in our strategy.
