I've heard it, myself, over my years in FIRST, but there is also precedent for replays in both past seasons as well as the rules. Basically, I think that when the MCs say this it's meaning that there won't be "do overs" for things that aren't explicitly outlined in the rules of each competition (field malfunction, referee having a stroke, etc). Meaning that a team not being ready for a match because they haven't had enough time to strategize or because a driver had to go to the bathroom or hasn't gotten back from Wendy's doesn't count as a "do overable" event.
