Here's another side of this. It happened to us in the finals this past weekend at GLR.

In the second match, the scoring system said we won autonomous and gave us the 10 point bonus. Our strategy was if we win autonomous, prevent the other team from scoring at all costs. So, we went on fell defense.

It didn't work anyway because the pair of triplets were really good and 67 did a good job of blocking for them, but the change of strategy was caused by the faulty scoring system.

So, maybe we need a manual verification of the winner before going to manual mode to make sure that the score isn't screwed up at the beginning, causing a possible change of strategy based on those 10 bonus points.
