Not so much the referees as the FTAs and scorekeepers. There's no way in the 2014 FMS to allow for more than 3 autonomous balls at the start of the match. If there were 4 balls on the field at the start, then cycle 1 would start after the 3rd auton ball had been cleared, lighting the pedestal which would put 2 balls on the field for the rest of tele-op.

If they'd said, well we'll just make do, then that would have put a huge burden on field reset because they're the ones who would have to get the call right about keeping a team from pulling a ball off a lit pedestal based on there being more than 4 balls at the start. You can pretty much guarantee that across 42 qualifying matches and up to 9 elimination matches there would have been quite a few more "field fault" replays than the 2 we had.
