I realize that one goal is active during the 2 middle periods. My point is, when the buzzer sounds, your goal is no longer active. So, if you shot a ball a split second before the buzzer sounded and it goes in, how do they count it? The system can't count it. Human interaction they say, but I just wonder how and how well that's gonna work...first having to be positive it shot before the buzzer, and second to be sure the amount is counted right. The same goes for automode... if a ball is in flight, it won't trigger any score delay, so there's a potential of incorrect automode score.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I just don't see how it will work well to have human real-time scoring for these situations. Refs already have enough to watch. No one else has this concern?

I don't really want to debate it, but if anyone has a confirmed answer for that specifically, let me know.
