Here at the Davis regional, we have 6 additional volunteers in ref shirts each in charged of a goal on the field, whose sole role is to count the balls going into them every round.

They each have a white board and marker on their hand, and they write down the number of balls that went into the goal when autonomous mode and the match is over. And each time, our head ref, Stu Bloom, standing in front of the scoring table, have the ball counters hold up their white board to show him what their number is, so he can record them on the little sheet and hands to the scorekeeper to calculate the official score.

So far all day yesterday this system has been working out really well for us. The ball counters are amazing, and they never shift their focus away from the goals. Stu did a great job organizing all these!
