We were instructed to count throughout the match, if a robot released a frisbee during auto it counted as an auto regardless of when it went into the goal. This never really came into play from my experience, but it was something I was curious about and that is what the FTA told us.
At the end of the match we would take a look at the goals before emptying them to double check what we counted and make sure it was correct. If the goals were too full to count by looking up through the lexan goals we would clear the area, let the discs drop and count them individually.
We would turn in sheets with the discs we counted to the scorer and that would be the score posted post match.
Hope that helps.

This method was used at Boston, Connecticut, and the Pine Tree (Maine) events. As GA I spent the time between the end of the matches and when the scores were announced waiting for the accurate disc count.
