In this year's game, there is no scoring actually done by the scorekeepers. So, "putting the final score up" incorrectly can only be done if the scorekeepers don't wait for adjustments from the referees before pushing the "commit score" button. This would only happen once! Not to be a "blame them" kind of person, but in "Overdrive" any scoring mistakes would most likely be with the refs or the electronics, since the scorekeepers would have to really, really try to display any score other than what the refs intended.

I think I misunderstood the poll. We had two quarter finals where the penalties were deducted from the wrong alliance causing the offending alliance to be reported as the winner of the round. Both scores were then corrected.
