In our case, we had to change our autonomous and teleop so that the rings were never on the robot, despite them sliding off immediately, but of course they didn't get as close to the pegs and sometimes rolled quite far when we did not give them a ramp.
We did look into it and discuss it with the referees. They didn't have a problem with it because it always passed the "do the rings stay with the robot when you back up" test (they don't). The rings may fall down the robot or get herded en masse, but the only one in our possession is the one in the gripper.
