Counting discs

What has been everyone's experience with the discs being counted after matches at the regionals?

At the Wisconsin regional, the discs were manually counted after every match. At the Midwest regional, we noticed that they weren't counting the disks from any match (at least none that I saw).

Given some of the inaccuracies with the real time scoring, I'm surprised that they would rely 100% on the load cells. There were some matches which were ties. Not sure how they could declare that without counting the discs manually. Talk in the pits was of some anomalies with some of the scores...

I'm surprised there isn't a standard practice of how this should be handled.
