Every competition I've been to if a routine is stopped (injury, music issues, etc.) and the team gets to perform again, they are required to do the entire routine again, but are only re-scored from the point the routine stopped. I didn't see the routine, but I saw that they had 2SF. if those falls happened before the light issue occurred, those should most definitely stick with their score.I don't have any strong feelings either way about how the re-scoring is done, and I see both sides of the fairness issue.
The reality is I think all of our opinions of the fairness are dependent on the circumstances. In this instance, we think it unfair to the other teams since Senior Elite had mistakes that they now have an opportunity to correct. On the other hand, if Senior Elite's performance has been flawless up to the point of interruption, we would probably think it was unfair to Senior Elite for them to have to be entirely re-scored.
The reality is that there is no standard procedure for handling these things when they happen, so event producers just have to do their best to evaluate the situation and remedy it as best they can given the circumstances at the time.
