But it happens and getting these things to be consistent at each event is a challenge.
I saw volunteers manually counting the discs at Hatboro-Horsham and Chestnut Hill. I would have felt more confident with more volunteers to count/verify the score. Are some mistakes/inaccuracies here and there still going to happen? Sure, but this shouldn't be 20+ points. The score that gets displayed on the audience screen isn't necessarily the one that includes the hand count, particularly in a blowout. However, the score that goes into FMS (and shows up in the official FRC match reports) should always be accurate.
