Actually I doubt it... they will probably repair it like they repaired damaged holes in the carpet... with tape! They mentioned a fiberglass tape that they would secure the sheets together with, my guess is since they feel it is good enough for that, they can use it to patch any damage to the regolith and not have to roll out new sheets. Depending on the wear, they might have to replace the sheets daily, but I doubt they would ever stop a competition for it, just throw some fiberglass tape on there.
