I would suggest that you 'find out' what the ruling would be before you ask the LRI to make a ruling. Never ask anyone to make a "final" decision if you don't know what the decision will be.
In the end, the LRI is there to keep the playing field level, and to ensure that teams play by the rules. As such, they need to be given the 'umpires authority' ... for better or worse, lest every decision be challanged.

Probably not, but since the rulings are based on a single core set of rules the interpretations "should" be consistant.
