I think the problem here is that folks updated to a newer version of a mod before the series they were participating made it clear that they were adopting the update. Likely the best course of action for players is to not start updating mods they subscribe to if that mod is used in SRS (or whatever league/club/etc. they are involved in) until they are notified they should. That said, might have been a better idea to not update to the latest version of a mod mid-season at all, unless there were crippling bugs or something.
