I would be interested in the GDC releasing the exact scoring process the field crew uses at the conclusion of a match. Also to semi bump the edit I made, does anybody know if you can have more then one bin set at the end of auto?
3.1.2. (and 3.1.3 for fouls) spells out how and when scores are applied:

- auto points are awarded when the timer displays 0 at the end of auto.
- coopertition points are awarded instantly on completion of the coopertition set/stack.
- teleop points (except for coopertition) are awarded when the timer displays 0 at the end of teleop unless not all elements are at rest, in which case they're awarded 5 seconds after the timer displays 0.
- fouls are issued upon rule violation.

Of course, the rules don't say what will be displayed on the scoreboard unofficially during the game.
