From Q&A:

Q. If a robot releases a ball prior to the timer hitting zero during the hybrid period, but it completely passes through the top hoop after the timer hits zero, will this ball be worth 3 or 6 points. What is the determining factor? Time of: release, passing through the hoop, passing by the sensors?

A. Per Rule [G38], the Basketballs are scored as they pass through the Hoop. So, if a Basketball shot during the Hybrid Period passes through the Hoop before the Hybrid Period ends, it will earn the Hybrid bonus of Rule [G39]. If it passes through the Hoop after Hybrid Period ends, it will not earn the Hybrid bonus.

Throughout the season, if a ball enters the hoop (it doesn't matter when it triggers the sensor) during the hybrid period, it will receive the hybrid bonus. If the automated scoring can't to this, the referees have added in the extra points manually.
