Not if you plan ahead. Spend a few minutes after alliance selection to add up the cooperititon points and write them down next to each alliance on a sheet of paper, and you'll have instant confirmation.

Points change rapidly. If you see one alliance down 6 points and you head over to their side, ready to put the moneyball in, and then they nail 9 points, you'd have to run over to the other side to get the moneyball in. And even if you had one person on both sides with a moneyball in hand to drop it in, what happens if one of them sees the 6 less score and gives it to them prematurely and the other sees the 9 points scored and gives it to the other team? The easier it is to determine the point which something is to be given, the better.
