If anything the Refs could have stopped Match 2 right there and then when the Malfunction occurred, why wait until the END of MATCH 3?!?
BESIDES, even IF the red alliance DID score those autonomous Points they STILL wouldn't have came anywhere near winning the match!!
WE WAS ROBBED

In QF 1-2 at the CT Regional, hybrid stopped working for all 6 teams on the field. They let the match continue until the end, they announced a final score... and a few matches later, they replayed QF 1-2. The red alliance won both times, but I still find it silly that they bothered to finish the match if they knew they had to replay it.
In your situation, I feel similarly that there wasn't a reason (that I know of) to finish out the match, since a rematch was needed. The malfunction made the game unfair, and the match needed to be replayed. As hard as it is to be in your situation, imagine how it would have felt to be on the alliance that got eliminated because of something beyond their control. I think the third match that became a fourth speaks to the fact that your alliances were pretty much equally matched; it was just luck that you won one match and not the other.
