This isn't a criticism, bu merely a simple understanding that there will always be scoring errors when scoring must be done in real time. Designing games to minimize the number of quick real time scoring decisions that need to be made will make things easier for the referees, and result in fewer complaints from teams.

1. Even with all scored balls being situated in trailers at the end of matches, there were still incorrectly scored matches. However, it was rare enough to be understandable.
2. Ignore the automated minibot scoring.
3. See #1, although these rare errors almost blew up on Einstein...
Do you recall significant scoring errors in 2008, 2010, or 2012? I don't, but that doesn't mean they didn't occur. While the real time scoring displayed on the screen has been an issue for many games (including most that are scored post match), I think this year and 2006 are the only two years I remember a significant quantity of discrepancies in the final tallied scores.
