You are either suggesting that the refs and field officials were incorrect in their diagnosis of a field problem, or that they were intentionally altering the outcome of a match. You provide no evidence of either.

If you accept that there was a field error in one of the matches, then it is strange to think that you would want your team to advance in the elimination rounds while your opponents abilities are reduced due to a field malfunction.

While I can appreciate that you might be disappointed after having honestly believed that you won the match, I don't see what alternative you propose... would you really consider it "winning" to beat an alliance whose competitive abilities are reduced due to an error beyond their control? How would you feel if a field error caused your robot to compete at less than its full capabilities?
