Gracious Professionalism about a mistake

Alright, here's the deal. In round 87 at the NYC regional, it is believed that the judges scored the match wrong. Luckily the footage from the NYC regional is still available. The judges scored the blue alliance as 38 and red as 32. After watching the video again, I count blue = 38 and red = 40. This mistake changes the first and second seed. I realize that if no mistake had been made, then the rest of the finals could have gone differently, but in addition to that, the #1 seed points could help towards going to nationals next year and getting a trophy.

I guess what I would like to see happen is like the Canadian figure skating pair. Essentially 2 gold medals. Any other thoughts?

Here is the footage The match is at time 1:46:53. If I am counting wrong, I appologize.
