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.

From what I understand the standard practice is to either count the discs as they are removed at the end of the match (if there are a lot) or count them as they go in. Then this info is given to the scoring table who have to complete hard copy scoring sheets that are sent back to FIRST. At least this was the standard procedure that was followed at QCR and was described to me as "what was supposed to be done."
