The old "beg forgiveness" argument. In this case, it's easy enough (but not pretty) to fix at an event, so they would be justified in asking for a change based on the LRI and CRI (Al) ruling.
As an RI myself, I'd rule that they need to be changed, so I also await the CRI ruling.

I guess instead of focusing on the stuff we wish we could have changed, we should focus on all of the wonderful stuff we accomplished instead! - Winged Wonder [more]
