I was not aware of a single manual minibot scoring for North Star.
I believe the reference is to past regionals. As was stated in Team update 18:

During the Week 1 competitions, we learned that we had erratic sensitivity issues with the sensors in the TOWER TARGETS, so, we reverted to manual scoring of the race. After Week 1, the sensitivity issue was examined and a change to the sensing method was implemented. Week 2 results indicated that this change was successful. The TARGET still looks and functions the same to the MINIBOTS, with the only change being the sensing methods between the plates. No changes were made to the physical aspects of the TARGET which are interacted with by the MINIBOTS. So moving forward, we will be relying on the automated scoring of the MINIBOT RACE.
Yes, weeks 1 and 2 the refs had the ability to manually score minibots if the tower didn't trigger. That simply isn't the case anymore.
