The tower races can be scored manually if needed. However, because of the way such points are entered into the data base they do not wind up in an easily identifiable place. I forget exactly where they go, but there is a place for manually scored points. They will not show up in the minibot points column. They will be included in your final score for the match and will be used in your ranking score etc.
The problems with the towers are now a known issue and the FIRST technical staff will be working very hard to come up with a solution that allows teams to score without false scores from robots hitting the tower. Some attempts have already been made but apparently were not very successful.
The field staff including Scorers, Field Manager, Referees and FTA take this very seriously and will make sure your team gets all the points (and penalties too for that matter) they are entitled too.
