As a hypothetical situation, had such a situation happened at our event (discovery after the match results were announced that an error needed to be corrected affecting the outcome) the head ref would go to each of the teams involved in the match to explain what had happened and what the new ruling was. After all teams are notified, a general announcement would be made by the MC and/or head ref to the crowd, explaining what happened and what the new ruling was. Because the revised score would be committed to FMS as soon as the new ruling is reached, rankings would reflect the fact first.

I'm surprised about the ball counters at your event. At ours, we think they worked flawlessly. We tested them Wed night, and Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings. I'm not aware of any complaints that a score was incorrect relative to the ball counters at our event.
