Granted, all rulings are final, but on the sheet we received at Rutgers, play disputes were specifically mentioned. Instructions were given as to how to dispute a call made by the refs, and we followed these rules. A reason needs to be given for DQ'ing a team. How else can you prevent your alliance from breaking that same rule again if you don't know what you did wrong? By the way, I've seen the refs change the scoring last year after making mistakes. It happened to us in one match, where part of our robot touched the big ball on top of a goal. At first we were given credit, but after a few minutes the points for the big ball were taken away, which was the right call. So changing the scoring has happened in the past. In any case, thats not what we asked for. An explanation or apology would have satisfied us. I don't think that is asking too much.
