Yeah, if the balls need to be cleared manually during tele-op the points will be added either during tele-op or after the match is over. As far as I know every regional has done this.

I'd say that if your autonomous program is fast enough to get balls clogged in the hoop your autonomous program is working very, very well. Don't go changing it unless you start missing, because they'll always give you the points sooner or later.
