From what I experienced as a volunteer doing Field Reset at Pittsburgh was this:

FIRST found out the sensors were a bit wonky in week 1 and week 2 so they started having some field reset people and volunteers count the frisbees. The weight sensors would only be used, like people said before, for real time scoring and could very well be off.

What Pittsburgh ended up doing was having the Field Reset people both count during the match and actually take out the frisbees from each goal at the end of the match, count and log them with the scorekeeper. The scorekeeper will then log everything, including penalties and pyramid goals and climb points and such, and then show the "Final Score" (the score that will be the "official score" used for everything needing it like the Qualification system and such). The score that people see during the match and immediately after is the estimated score based solely on the weight sensors in the goals (which can and have been off before)

Going into the future, I think they're probably going to require that regionals hand count frisbees to avoid errors in scoring, especially when a match is a close one.
