There had to come a time when the IJ wished that they were anywhere else, doing anything else. They stated when issuing the penalty that they did not want to decide the outcome of the cup 'in the room,' which nearly happened.
As bad as the incident was, I still don't understand how they had the authority to dock the points. The ACWS was purely a marketing event, and while I agree with penalizing cheaters, can't get my head around taking points away from the AC based upon that.
