Call me cynical if you like, but I've been around this game long enough to know that I can't just trust that it will be right.
I've seen dozens of scoring errors over the years that affected the outcome of the match, and upon discovery, the teams were basically told "Oh well, crummy luck."
Never mind the hundreds of scoring errors that didn't affect the outcome of the match that I've seen.
I frequently hear people hide behind GP, as if expecting the event to be run in accordance with the rules and corrected accordingly when mistakes are made is too much to expect of volunteers. I wholeheartedly disagree. Event volunteers should be expected to be able to officiate the games in full compliance with the game manual. Period. Anything less is unprofessional.
