In fact, there was. It was Jim Beck, the FIRST Regional Director, who made the decision that the fairest thing to do was to replay the match.
<G14> was called incorrectly, but consistently throughout the tournament. This was not brought to the refs' attention until after the scores had been announced for finals match 3. At this point, what can be done? No decision will leave everyone happy. Changing the call would leave alliance one feeling cheated; declaring that the results are final leaves alliance two feeling cheated. (Either option would still lead to long debates here on CD.) The ideal solution would be for <G14> to have been called correctly in the first place, but given that it wasn't, a replay seems like the best option.
