I feel like field reset is already pretty burdened (especially this year with the large amount of game pieces and complexity of set up).

If FIRST dedicates 5 referees to take away points from an alliance (or giving points to the opposite alliance) why not take another two or so people and give them the task of making sure the points an alliance earned is correct. I'm sure it's a different situation for every year's game but it wouldn't be bad for them to have such an option in their back pocket.

They did. I did this at the Central Valley Regional. There were 3 of us behind the drivers during the match. Each one of us kept our eyes on a goal. After auton, we recorded the number of discs scored. And in teleop we counted and recorded that number at the end as well. It helped to have the auton score written down (not only because we needed to for an accurate score) but because, if we lost track during counting, we could just count the amount of discs in the goal total at the end and subtract the number from those scored in teleop!
