Yep. If you scored the balls into a goal that was in your scoring zone (the one just across the midfield zone from you), they were worth points. If you scored them into a goal in your opponents' scoring zone, they got the points. Moving a goal from your zone to your opponents' zone, or vice versa, changed which alliance they scored for. BUT... moving the goal out of one of the goal scoring zones entirely meant no ball points and no goal points for anybody, IIRC.

I know we won an offseason because we had one more ball in our goals than our opponents did, or something like that--they hand counted those.
