As I posted earlier, and as noted in the other thread about SVR, teams
DID notify the refs of this error. I know for a fact that 100 and 254 did during the elimination rounds prior to the finals, and other teams did also. The referees should have been well aware of this issue before it came up.
P.S. I think people are forgetting that Red was actually announced the winner of the event, and then the referees went back and decided to change their minds. It wasn't like they deliberated prior to announcing the score and then changed their minds. This seems like a major departure from standard operating procedure. If there was any question that the match was not being scored correctly, it absolutely needed to be rectified prior to announcing a score. Nobody wants to win by a referee error, but how would it feel to be awarded the win, and then have it taken away?
The refereeing was highly inconsistent all weekend. This was not a problem that originated in the final matches.
