FLL has paper scoring as described above. Almost all points are determined based on the condition of the field at the end of the game. There's an occasional exception for a mission that is scored as it is completed.
FRC has been scoring near-real-time for several years now, either automatically or by entering it on tablets. Scores can be corrected post-match if needed - if something was missed before the buzzer, or if something was entered incorrectly.
When I made my comments about considering a replay in FTC (way upthread), I mentioned that I didn't know the FTC game. When it was posted that there was a scoring error, I wrongly assumed that there was some kind of automatic scoring that had failed. That would have been the basis for a replay. But it now sounds to me that the scoring was manually done based on field conditions. In that is the case, there could be some kind of team review of the scores like FLL. But remember, in FLL there's only one ref marking the score sheet. If the FTC scores are based on the observations of more than one ref, then the GDC probably figured that was the accuracy check and a separate team sign-off wasn't needed.
