<G14> states that the rule is only valid during a "non-surrogate MATCH". We interpreted this as any elimination match.

I don't see a definition of this term in this year's rules. However, I vaguely remember a rule at some time in the past (or, possibly, from a different event altogether) where, if there weren't enough teams to fill out a match schedule, a team could be assigned to fill in extra rounds as a surrogate, to prevent playing matches with no opponent. These matches result in a score for the real player, but not for the surrogate.
Anyway, that's how I interpreted it.
