Well apparently they do have rules but as usual don't want to enforce them (assuming article I read was correct). " A manager or coach that takes any action that results in a travesty of the game that results in members performing poorly could be disqualified." I think they realized they could not do anything about the outcome of the game so they thought this playoff was the next best thing.
My big concern here is that they assume that people who put these rules together did not think about the rule and just made stuff up. As someone who has slaved over writing league rules and by-laws I can promised they do think about these thing. Then they also think what is the most appropriate punishment or result. In this instance they realized it was the coach who was at fault and that the girls should not be penalized, so the penalty was coach disqualification.
